Re: Encoder: Can't Find Consistent Values for One Rotation

I agree, the documentation says a Tetrix motor encoder provides 1440 counts per revolution. How are you measuring it?

Perhaps more importantly, how are you using it? It's possible that your motor code is letting the wheel spin a teeny bit longer after the encoder reaches the desired value, instead of bringing it to an immediate halt.
