Re: Low Res Optical Encoders for Speed Control

Ether,

we had 2 wheels and hence 2 encoders. Would that cause any problems?

also, I am not sure how much to be worried about the singal integrity over the 7 feet of wire that the students had wired next to all other wires. including the 20kHz jaguar output wires going to the motors.

As with any sensor, make sure you're getting a proper signal before trying to tune the control algorithm.
