Re: What do YOU want in the Kit of Parts?

Modification to the US Digital Encoder wheel for a lower CPR count (< 100), for example 16. Even though the cRIO can handle higher frequencies, the CPR count for attempting to control a CIMSim at 2000 rpm can possibly cause cRIO issues (throughput) that can be simply avoided by having a lower CPR count.

The US Digital Encoder with a lower CPR count could then be simply added to the AndyMark CIMSim (match made in heaven?).

In the pits I saw some applications use simple bolts with one ppr gear tooth sensor to measure rpm for speed control on their shooters.
