Re: High speed encoders

Our programmers are overloaded already from our pivot drive and targeting - ranging. To keep the rpm issue simple we are using another motor to generate a voltage proportional to rpm. Do an analog sample and feed it into the PID. They have this down. The counter and timing was confusing them with their all ready pressured state. The Crio has 12 bit 10 to -10 volt ability. We will take advantage of the 0 to 10 range for the first time. Should have something running this weekend.
