[docs]class Encoder(SensorBase): """Class to read quadrature encoders. Quadrature encoders are devices that count shaft rotation and can sense direction. The output of the Encoder class is an integer that can count either up or down, and can go negative for reverse direction counting. When creating Encoders, a direction can be supplied that inverts the sense of the output to make code more readable if the encoder is mounted such that forward movement generates negative values. Quadrature encoders have two digital outputs, an A Channel and a B Channel, that are out of phase with each other to allow the FPGA to do direction sensing. All encoders will immediately start counting - reset() them if you need them to be zeroed before use. Instance variables: - aSource: The A phase of the quad encoder - bSource: The B phase of the quad encoder - indexSource: The index source (available on some encoders) """

Construct a Encoder given a and b channels and optionally an index channel. The encoder will start counting immediately. The a, b, and optional index channel arguments may be either channel numbers or `DigitalSource` sources. There may also be a boolean reverseDirection, and an encodingType according to the following list. - aSource, bSource - aSource, bSource, reverseDirection - aSource, bSource, reverseDirection, encodingType - aSource, bSource, indexSource, reverseDirection - aSource, bSource, indexSource - aChannel, bChannel - aChannel, bChannel, reverseDirection - aChannel, bChannel, reverseDirection, encodingType - aChannel, bChannel, indexChannel, reverseDirection - aChannel, bChannel, indexChannel For positional arguments, if the passed object has a `getPortHandleForRouting` function, it is assumed to be a DigitalSource. Alternatively, sources and/or channels may be passed as keyword arguments. The behavior of specifying both a source and a number for the same channel is undefined, as is passing both a positional and a keyword argument for the same channel. In addition, keyword parameters may be provided for reverseDirection and inputType. :param aSource: The source that should be used for the a channel. :param bSource: The source that should be used for the b channel. :param indexSource: The source that should be used for the index channel. :param aChannel: The digital input index that should be used for the a channel. :param bChannel: The digital input index that should be used for the b channel. :param indexChannel: The digital input index that should be used for the index channel. :param reverseDirection: Represents the orientation of the encoder and inverts the output values if necessary so forward represents positive values.

If 1X or 2X are selected then a counter object will be used and the returned value will either exactly match the spec'd count or be double (2x) the spec'd count.
