on your instructions for the shaft encoders (http://content.vexrobotics.com/docs/instructions/276-2156-instr-0312.pdf) it does not clearly explain where exactly I am suppose to plug in either of the wires, any light you could shed would be much appreciated
Hello Swather Robotics,
That is a great question.
Please connect the sensor into the digital ports of your Microcontroller.
Regards.
