forgot to ask. I ordered the QRB1133 model without thinking.
but the litte diagram posted by DrStein99 is marked QRB1134.
will that make any difference?? cant really make out what the difference between the two is.

guess I should note that the only problem with this supplier is that although the part was only 2bucks. the shipping options are crap . ended up costing me $15.00 to have it mailed.

Just for interest sake, check out http://www.usdigital.com this is the so called 10 dollar encoder company. They really sell a 10 dollar encoder, and it's good quality. I've used many, many of them, and in fact, Wescan (Linatrol) CNC uses them on their CNC controllers, I have sold their controllers coupled to flatbed CNC machines we manufacture, off course until I found Mach3, much, much cheaper. Just don't try to order the encoders from Linatrol, You'll pay 200 t0 300 dollars!

Got my Fairchild encoders fro a British company - something robotics - paid by Pay Pal. A bit expensive - £2.50 each ( 5 dollars ). Got four, cost £13.50.
