Re: Encoders getting different rates

I'm NOT trying to make a workaround based off assumptions. We already switched the slower encoder once and don't have anymore left.
If you switched out all the parts of the slower encoder with another one and it stayed the same, that points to a software problem. In that case, I'd try replacing your "fast" encoder with the original "slow" encoder. If your formerly "slow" reads fast, then try swapping the cables. If it still reads fast, then it's a software thing or a really weird DSC problem. If it reads slow, then the problem is following the cable and you need a new cable. If you end up with two "slow" encoders back there at the beginning, then atleast you have two encoders that seem to be performing the same.
