Today I worked on wiring and programming in multiple encoders. I spend most of the first hour wiring it in. Silly me, didn't check to see if the connectors were attached fully to the input wires. Waste of 45 minutes. The next 20 minutes were spent determining what data from the encoder was required for the program. Tests have shown that the program needs all 3 channels from each encoder to be fully operational.
The wires just for 2 encoders was already at 10. On Day 30 (which will hopefully be Wednesday [a non-class day]), I'll relearn the connector plugs to cut down on the required wires for operation. Then on Day 31, I should be all set to set up and execute 2+ encoders with the program with a much more tidy wiring setup.
