Re: Low Res Optical Encoders for Speed Control

Our team used a optical sensor with a 1ms response time, and had that going through a flywheel that had 3 holes. At 5000 rpms, that required about a 2ms response time, and it always worked. I know that other teams (341 in particular) used the retroreflective sensors from last years KOP, which worked as well.
