Re: Question: how many encoders can be used on the robot?
Thanks for the clarification about the number of encoders you can declare with the different scale factors.
As far as getting rates from the encoders. We were able to get 4 rates by declaring 8 encoders 1,3,5 and 8 seemed to work for us. These were all declared at 2x. Encoders 2,4, and 6 were fake encoders that were assigned the digital inputs of limit switches that we were using for other things. Encoder 7 was used for our lift but we didn't need the rate from it. You may be able to get more rates by using the 4x encoders, but I am not sure. The best way is to just test them, when you get NaN as a rate you know that encoder declaration position won't work and just move on to the next one.
