Hi guys,
I'm running into some of the same questions. From what I can tell, you can't preload POSCNTH or POSCNTL. Another item that puzzled me is that the datasheet mentions that MAXCNT value is 1527h. I can't figure out how they arrived at that figure.

I'm trying to do as simple encoder for menu sleection and would like to set POSCNT in the middle so that I don't have to mess with rollover in either direction. I realize that it would be easy enough to deal with, but this gives me a chance to try and figure out how to use this darn feature. I'm trying to prove to myself that there is a good use for it. So far, it has been more of a pain than it is worth.
