Wiring encoders with roborio

Our team has decided to use an encoder this year, we are having difficulties because the ports are spaced out, whereas with the c-Rio there was no spacing, the only option we have seen thus far is to use a 4-pin header, which we have none of, have any other teams faced a similar problem and have any other solutions? All help is appreciated.

Re: Wiring encoders with roborio

we have used the female-female single pin connectors

like these

however if you are going to use the talon xrs I guess you have
to use vex robotics talon data cables "ribbon" unless the breakout boards get re-stocked and/or you can design your own

Re: Wiring encoders with roborio

Could you post a picture at your convenience? It sounds to me like you are trying to place the connector in the wrong orientation on the roboRIO. You may also have a 4 pin encoder and are wondering how to connect it to a 3 pin channel on the roboRIO? Not totally sure. A follow up with more information would be appreciated and would make it easier for others to better assist you.

Re: Wiring encoders with roborio

We're ordering 4-pin connectors, we think this should resolve the problem.
Thank you for all the help.

Re: Wiring encoders with roborio

How will a 4 pin connector help? The DIO ports on the roboRIO are still only 3 pins each.

Re: Wiring encoders with roborio

I think they mean to use the 4-pin connectors because they will stretch across the gap between adjacent sets of roboRIO .1 header pins. The two middle pin positions don't get used, just the two end ones.

Re: Wiring encoders with roborio

Hi, sorry for the late reply, But you can wire the encoder through standard D I/O's on the RoboRio, but you will need to use 2 rows per encoder. 5v, gnd, and signal on the first row, and Signal 2 on the second D I/O port
