Go to Post Belts are a fine way of transferring power in a robot. Like chains, gears, drive shafts, viscous couplings or any other means of transmission they require some care and attention on you're part. But no one said this robot stuff was going to be a cake walk. - Andy A. [more]

You should under no circumstances create create constants for "DevRef" inputs. You need to open the digital inputs and pass those references into the "ToDigitalSource.vi" (on the encoder pallete) and pass the reference from that into the encoder open. Look at the Encoder Example for... well... an example.
