Your older Rotary Encoder scene seems to work much better than this one! I say that because the counter in this scene is erratic. The numbers flicker up and down without any kind of reason, and when the encoder wheel is stopped, especially when a laser is sitting on the edge of an optical segment, the signal will sometimes jitter like crazy, and one of the signal wheels will spin, even though the encoder is stationary! I think it needs a little adjusting. ;)
I did some adjusting, but since this encoder has almost 10X the counts per revolution as the older one, it has less margin of operation than the other one. The flickering may have been due to stray beams. I set maxRays to 1. A signal wheel will spin whenever the signal is a "1", which can happen even if the encoder is stopped.
It works correctly now! So, whatever you did, fixed the problem of the counter not inc/dec properly.

Now, I can give it a solid 10! :tup:
Thanks.
