Hi!

I'm not an expert in electronics, and I haven't looked inside my BCR,
but I believe the working principle of encoders is that they have no
hardware position, they just output pulses up and down. The position
is always stored in the brain of the BCR.

If you replace one with a different PPR, then it will output a
different number of clicks, and the values will change faster or
slower, but it should work?
