I'm just passing the following on for everyone else to read.

Hi Scott,
I don't have posting privs to all these lugnet
lists, but just want to let you know that actually
IC does support encoders (rotation sensors). It's
just not documented. If you look in lib_rcx.ic,
you'll see several functions for encoders:
enable_encoder()
enable_bidir_encoder()
read_encoder()
reset_encoder()
disable_encoder()
I've used all these in my code, and they all work. What's
more, you can directly use the pokeword call that's in
reset_encoder() to stuff any value you want into your
encoder. I've used that too, and it works.
Don't know why the documentation says otherwise!
You do need a serial tower, but these are easy to get thru
bricklink:

($10-17), or from pitsco:

Maybe you wouldn't mind posting this info as a follow-up?
Cheers,
Robin
