Hi, I am having great difficulty trying to get my shaft encoder to work using both sencdr3.icb or fencdr3.icb driver. I am using the QRB1114 optical sensor connected to analog port 3 with a current limiting resistor of 330 ohms for the emmiter and (...) (26 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Yes, it has an IR port, usable from the front and top. I don't know how you would get to it programmatically, with the current "OS" firmware being burned in to ROM, and not modifiable yet (at least by me...) Jeff jeffrey.hazen@northmill.net (...) (26 years ago, 22-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics)

Hi Ralph, I just tried out to remove all EMITs from ACCEPT word, in order to eliminate back echo from RCX. It works good: less Frame Errors and Break Interrupts from comm port during the session.

Rob, Another suggestion for debuging your setup would be to write a program which; 1, anually counts the pulses from the encoder, and writes them to the lcd screen; or 2, Just writes the state of the encoder input to the screen (a 1 or 0).
