Encoder sensor = new Encoder(1,2,false,CounterBase.EncodingType.k2x)

I do not know if it is a bug with the WPILib. Maybe someone else can confirm.

Hope that helps!

This definitely helps, but i get weird numbers like 0.0.0054465 and .00045678
Any idea what it means?

UPDATE
nvm, I did a powercycle and i got better numbers
what are the units the encoder returns?
