Re: Wiring Encoders?

As in which port goes to what wire?

It dosen't matter, if you get them backwards the controller will think the robot is going in the other direction. If the robot thinks its going backwards then swap the A and B wires.

What color wire?

Plug the cable into the encoder and read which wire is A and B. It should be labeled.
