hi
can you post a pic of how you have it wired up? You might need some kind of buffering on the output of the slot encoders.
Two things particular to encoders come to mind:
- if the encoders are exposed to ambient light this can cause problems
- encoders sometimes work fine with regular linear motion, but not so well with finger motion, as the finger can cause the encoder to oscillate between positions. This might be cleaned up with software in the computer or the mouse's processing chip.
