Quad encoder, 5752 setEncoderPosition() does not work

[JeremyLaurenson]

This issue has been brought up before on the single encoders, and marked as completed here: #20

The current shipping (Feb 2024) 5752 encoders setEncoderPosition() does not work.

• Arduino board: Adafruit I2C Quad Rotary Encoder Breakout with NeoPixel - STEMMA QT / Qwiic

• Arduino IDE version (found in Arduino -> About Arduino menu): 2.3.2

Run this simple code to reproduce:

 // set start positions
delay(1000);
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
ss.setEncoderPosition(50, i);
}
delay(1000);
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
Serial.println(ss.getEncoderPosition(i));
}
}

This should print four "50"s

This is a dupe of #20 which has been resolved by #21.

It's possible some encoders are still shipping with older firmware. For that, please see here:

After updating the firmware yes now working fine, thank you
