The IMXRT1062 has a only 4 hard wired quad encoders built in so the library was built that limit. So yes its a hard limit on the libraryjoepasquariello said:
QuadEncoder knobLeft(1, 1, 3,1);
Havent tested alot of encoders - really only used this one for testing:
QuadEncoder myEnc1(1, 0, 1, 0); // Encoder on channel 1 of 4 available
// Phase A (pin0), PhaseB(pin1), Pullups Req(0)Interesting is the fact that if you divide 13100 counts/4 you get 3275 counts which is pretty close to your 3600 pulses per revolution which is kind of odd.
The root of the word quadrature is "quad" or "four". The idea is you have two square waves (A and B) with 90-deg phase offset, and by counting the rising and falling edge of both A and B you get 4x the resolution, and by keeping track of the order the edges occur, you can determine the direction of rotation. With a 3600-PPR encoder, there will be 3600 full periods of both A and B in one rev, and the total number of rising/falling edges is 3600 x 4 = 14400. If you want to count edges using interrupts, you must interrupt on both edges of both signals to get the correct total, so even at 1 rev/sec (60 rpm) you will have 14400 interrupts/sec, and at 10 rev/sec (600 rpm), you will have 144000 interrupts/sec. It pretty quickly chews up your processing capability and makes it impossible to do anything else. That's why you should use the QuadEncoder library, which does the counting in hardware, and not the Encoder library, which does the counting in software.

Sorry, seems Mike answered that for me
Appreciate the offer! For now I will just have a go with the interrupt on pin #2 with the signal from Phase A
