2) 35 revs/sec @ 64 counts/rev = 2240 counts/sec = 22.4 counts/(10 ms), so +/- 1 count should give jitter of approx +/-1/22.4 = +/-4.5%. So I can't draw any conclusion from your graph except that something is not right.

Ok I've changed this one to gif... I tried to get the others but I can't edit them... oh well. I'll use gif from now on for these. (They compress about the same and PNG).

For now... I'll conclude that the encoder was defected with the problems I mentioned before. At some point, since we have both bots... I'll get an up to date reading from both and present them here.

One thing I do find interesting though is how much better GetRate() worked for this stress, but for now I want to dismiss this as evidence until I do further testing.

While I'm here I want to thank Brandon and Palardy for their suggestions... we are very grateful for your input as we learn new stuff everyday. :)
