I think you have your "normally used.." things messed up a bit...

If a button is linked to normally closed (NC) then it is telling the encoder that the button is always pressed down (until you actually press down on it, then the encoder gets the signal it isnt being pressed down).

IE Closed = complete circuit

Opened = broken circuit (IE no electric flow)

That's TEN demerits little one! :P

Actually, from what I have heard thus far, mixing up the NO and NC connections are the most common mistake (And a pretty easy one to make with dozens of wire connects crammed into a tiny space). Luckily it is also a very easy one to fix :D

Figured it out.  The issue was the switch needs to be grounded to the Mini-Pac it's hooked to.  Since I have 3, I had it grounded to the wrong Mini-Pac.   :angry:
