If instead you want to measure the angle of a rotating shaft, the AS5030 rotary magnetic encoder is what you need.
Whatever the case, the place to go is the Kit of Parts page on the FIRST web site. You will find full documentation on each of the sensors provided in the Kit. The sensor you're asking about is in the Parts Data Sheets section, as is the one it sounds like you need instead. |
Alright, thanks.
Questions about the linear encoder: Where is the AS5304 mounted in order to get a reading. Does it have to be in contact with a motor, or does it simply have to be on the robot?
Can the Motor With Encoder example in LabVIEW work with the AS5304, without any modifications?
