Re: Encoder recommendation for Banebots RS550 ?

Thanks Alan & Mr. Bill!

Being in Canada and working through red-tape of school board purchasing departments, ordering direct from US Digital is nearly impossible. So I was hoping that AM or Banebots had this figured out already. They are on our preferred supplier lists.

I think a 3mm collet wheel will do just great.

My risk is that the RS-550 motor doesn't have a compatible mounting pattern on the back of the motor, or (more importantly) that the rear spade connector tabs will clash with the encoder. I need my CAD guys to confirm this. WHY doesn't banebots have a PDF drawing of this motor on their site? gah!

Does anyone have direct experience with integrating an E4P encoder on an RS550 motor?

Thanks again!
Andrew
