Can this stack read the wheel encoder data of DFRobot? Especially the DFRobot MiniQ with DFRobot Mini Encoder Kit.

Only open-loop control using two different motor shields is supported so far as documented here: https://github.com/skohlbr/simple_2wd_robot/wiki

It would be relatively easy to add support for reading encoders if some kind of Arduino code snippet is available already, however. In that case, a publisher that writes encoder data out to the ROS world via rosserial would have to be added, too.
