Cool, we'll give it a try. We had some initial issues when we tried hooking it up this way, especially with varying values (returned anywhere from 7000 to 9000 rpm). We checked the signal generated by the sensor, and it was steady as a rock. We didn't have it in periodic tasks though, just inside our teleop section, we'll move it out, and tweak the values. Just wanted to make sure we were headed in the right direction.
