Arduino leonardo. Encoder mouse movement

Question

I want to connect my sensonrs to an arduino leonardo.

The principal idea is use it like a scratch (like dj hero or beatmania??), if I move the scratsh up, the mouse will go up ( y Axis ), and if it go down, the y Axis down.

The middle is for gnd and the other four to 0 to 3 pin in the arduino.

So my problem is I am not sure about the conecction and also the code to run my program, beacuse all the thing that i try to do, had no work in my computer.

Answer 1

That's a quadrature encoder implemented using photo interrupters. Use a DMM to suss out which half of each is the diode and which is the phototransistor, connect both halves as you would were they independent, and decode the quadrature output.
