I'm glad to hear that the analog version is working out for you.

As I mentioned, we had great success with the analog version of the MA3. We on 1519 only switched over to quadrature encoders (the US Digital E4P and E7P) since these encoders were easy to sample with the cRIO and easy to integrate with the gearboxes / shafts we have chosen for use on the robot in recent years.
