Stephen,

We're still looking for a description of the symptoms. (I asked too in the "What do you think about how easy theyre making programming?" thread.) All you've told us so far is that "the encoder doesn't work."

Have you tried what Sean suggested?:

You mention you're using Kevin's 2004 encoder code. The version I have has a fairly complete read-me file included in the .zip file. Have you read it? If you don't have the read-me, maybe you should get Kevin's latest version, and use it instead of the old one.
