PLG Motor encoder not resetting with .reset()

Technical Programming

We can talk to the encoder, getting outputs, getting positive and negative values, but they’re not resetting. We are using the TalonSRX but the DIO ports are going directly to the RIO.

[Solved: bad wiring, didn’t have the ground connected on the encoder.]

import com.ctre.phoenix.motorcontrol.ControlMode;

import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj.Encoder;

import edu.wpi.first.wpilibj2.command.SubsystemBase;

public class TalonSRXSubsystem extends SubsystemBase {
    private TalonSRX motor2 = new TalonSRX(2);
    Encoder plgEncoder = new Encoder(4, 5);

    public TalonSRXSubsystem() {
        plgEncoder.reset();
        plgEncoder.setDistancePerPulse(1/44.4);
    }

    public void stopMotor2() {
        motor2.set(ControlMode.PercentOutput, 0);
    }

    public void setPower2(double v2) {
        motor2.set(ControlMode.PercentOutput, v2);
    }

    @Override
    public void periodic() {
        plgEncoder.reset();
        SmartDashboard.putNumber("Encoder Distance", plgEncoder.getDistance());
    }
}
