Or you could use a magnetic encoder. When you attach the circular magnet to a shaft, it measures the angle of the magnet and outputs a value which is analog which you can read with the cRio's ADC. Two of them come in the kit. Note that every time the angle hits 0 degrees, it wraps around to 360 degrees (same with 360 degrees to 0 degrees).

Great thanks!
