running 2 encoders - problems

We are using 4 encoders on 4 nanoboxes. All 4 are wired the same and wired correctly (triple checked). We can see the A and B pulses (with a scope) on all 4 channels. But only 2 servos (using PID controller) are working.

We commented out the enable call for the PIDcontroller classes, ran the motors at a constant speed (manually with the motor classes) and are printing out the encoder values using the GetRate method. Two of the values are NaN which explains the problems with the servos.

Anyone have any clues? I guess we can start replacing encoders but the outputs looks good.

TIA
