If index-enable is true, (it is) which ack the man page:
encoder.N.index-enable bit i/o
When true, counts and position are reset to zero on the
next rising edge of Phase-Z. At the same time, index-enable is reset to
zero to indicate that the rising edge has occurred.
Which because I want the total counts, I should use rawcounts which is
not reset? Thats what I have it coded for atm anyway, but I've not yet
added an updown for the Z counter. Working on that now.
Thanks Andy.
