Re: Help Programming a Quadrature Encoder

What Bill is getting at is that while the A signal of the encoder on the left side of the drive train might be leading, the encoder on the right side of the drive train might be lagging. You can check the signals coming out of the encoders with an oscilloscope, or what I usually do is just hook it up, look at the encoder counts in a terminal, and reverse the sign bit if necessary.
