For open-collector encoders you need to provide pull-up resistors. > The Gecko encoder inputs go directly to a PNP base, maybe with a voltage > divider? Any hysteresis? Pull ups? > No pull-up or hysteresis. PNP transistor collector is grounded, base is connected to encoder signal with 4.7K resistor, emitter goes to cathode of opto-isolator LED. Anode of LED goes to +5V through resistor.
