The shaft is lubricated with very dense grease, it does not turn very easily so the friction coupling is out of question (because of slippage), but this will not be the the problem as I intend to couple them to the mount shafts by means of timing belts.

As stated eralier, the connection is as follows:
1) (black wire) GND
2) B
3) A
4) +5V

So be careful, it is not directly connectible to Ek's box (pins 3 and 4 must be swapped, then you can plug it in with GND pin on Ek's interface left free, because N/C marked pin is actually also connected to GND).
