friends..
Can Anyone help me figure out how to wire this encoder ?
I can't find the specs , and can't make it work with Kangaroo..
I know that the WHITE is Ground and RED is POSITIVE for the Motor, but don't know witch one is A, B, 5V and Ground for the encoder...
It looks like you have Ground, 5V, B+, B-, A+, A-
I see 6 wires so you probably do not have I which is common.
Ground and 5V should be a single wire.
B+ and B- would be twisted together
A+ and A- would be twisted together
Again, this is speculation.... To connect to the Kangaroo, I think that you would just use the 4 wires of Ground, 5V, B+ and A+. B- and A- would be the drops but I assume that the A+ and B+ wires are low when the A- and B- are high. This should be sufficient for the Kangaroo as it is looking for High on and low drops on the same wire.
I am going to say it again.... This is speculation based on what I see in the photo.

ultimately, I think you will have to find some sort of a datasheet to know for sure. What is the brand of the motor or any markings that would be indicative of the manufacturer?
I would pick a multi-meter and select ohms and i would try to find which ones are the phases (A,B), the phases usually have pull-up resistors.
there are two smd resistors 102 = 1K, i would guess those are the pull up resistors.
both pull up resistors are connected to the 5v, so each side of the resistor is connect between them and 5v. Find the common side, and you will find the 5v.
the other side of each resistor is connected to the Phases (A,B), between each phase wire and the 5v there is a resistance of 1K, check that too.
the remaining wire is the ground.
My bet is orange-5v, black=zero, Phases = yellow, blue
