I'm also facing this issue when running the Basic.ion example. I can get around this problem by checking modulo 2 in the condition (see code below), but that seems totally hacky and unnecessary. Any idea how to fix this double increment problem? I'm on a Teensy 4.1

void loop() {
  long newPosition = myEnc.read();
+  if (newPosition != oldPosition && newPosition % 2 == 0) {
-  if (newPosition != oldPosition) {
    oldPosition = newPosition;
    Serial.println(newPosition);
  }
}
