Re: Magnetic encoders? Anybody else having trouble?
How are you mounting these encoders? We just got ours today, only to realize they don't fit on the encoder shaft of the mini tough boxes we were planning to use.

Also, has anyone figured out if putting the encoder too close to the motor will actually cause interference, as our backup plan for mounting these encoders also involves putting the encoder almost touching the motor.

EDIT: No, putting the encoders right next to the motor doesn't cause (noticable) interference, we tested them today.
