Re: "Ticks" per revolutin Absolute Encoder
I'm thinking a software bug in your code is involved.
None of the three versions of that encoder produce "ticks" because of rotating.
Double-check that you are invoking a suitable analog read function, and thatsome other part of your code isn't summing the values you read.
The encoder output definitely is not the sort of signal that typically would get connected to an interrupt or other hw input port so that pulses could be counted. Instead its amplitude or duration should be measured (either Volts or Seconds), depending on which version of the encoder you are using.
