Re: Testing and Cause of Failure for Encoders and Hall Effect sensors

A logic analyzer is useful in these situations. You can actually see the steps and phase from a run. Professional grade logic analyzers are expensive. A pic however can be turned into a acceptable analyzer with the proper hardware and PC program. I believe Parallax sells one and there is this link.

Great for testing coproc communications and I2C - SPI.
