Just re-tried it w/ firmware updated to 4.1.27 and using BasicMicro Motion Studio. Same behavior as before. Only additional change I noticed is that when I swap the encoder channels in software, which (somehow) allows me to read the absolute encoder but not the quadrature, the absolute encoder value...

I'm having trouble running 2 motors, one with quadrature encoders, and the other with a potentiometer on the same Roboclaw 2x7A. Motors: - Pololu 37Dx73L gearmotor - Actuonix linear actuator with potentiometer Wiring matches examples given in the documentation: Quadrature encoder is hooked up to ENC...
