relative encoder does not know what position it is in when it is turned on, but it is possible to create a calibration program
that can be run at every start-up to obtain a reference point from which to calculate an angle.
The encoder uses four wires, 3.3V Power, Ground, Channel A and Channel B to communicate data back to the Hub (Figure
11). When the motor is rotating, the Hub can calculate the direction and speed of the motor.
