Does it have to have a slotted or flat end?
If it is okay, I've used both the
S1 and
S5 encoders before from us digital.
Your method of calculating and/or filtering velocity could possibly have a much larger impact on control (we ran a 6-tick encoder all season), curious, what are you currently doing? I certainly agree with your logic that more resolution is better though (we're switching to a higher count encoder at IRI for the same reason).
