MSR1's Voltage Translators

Is there a trick to making these work with rotary encoders? Spent all day think there was something wrong with my encoders and now a search of the forum indicates that there is an issue with these level shifting devices. Or should I just bypass them and stick some other form of buffering in there to have this 5v encoder work with the Prop?

Cheers!

    You can use the 5V in encoder with a 3.3K series resistor to keep the current low enough not to harm the Prop.

    I haven't used the MSR1 board, but I know the S2's level shifters are a pain to use.
