Re: Success with encoders
Thank you for everyone's inputs. I really appreciate it and we'll be putting this to good use in the upcoming season. One thing we're learning is where to spend money and where to save. Given the importance of having a reliable shooter this past season, having a working encoder was critical to having a successful shooter.
You can see from the attached photo, we did a custom encoder that has worked with maybe 25% reliability. This was a ton of work to have an unreliable system. So, we'll probably be purchasing several of these encoders and testing them all for the reliability and versatility.
thank you,
