The cyclesPerRev is the variable for how many detents are in a revolution on the rotary encoder from what I gather. the thing is that the encoder code I'm using is from this link which is only for 1. I tried to alter the code so I could have two by just simply just duplicating the code where necessary and adding a duplicate separated variable for the second one. and that brings me to where I am now. a point there the nettCounter and nettCounter2 variables are the same value. but I can't seem to figure out why. The rest of the code is just the timer.
