Encoder for a fly wheel
Hey guys,
We are trying to use an encoder for speed control this year on our fly wheel. We've only got any encoders that came with the KoP for the past 2 years, and we are sort of confused about how to go about mounting an encoder for our flywheel.
Our flywheel is controlled by a mini cim. The minicim shaft is connected to a 3/8 shaft using a coupler, and that 3/8 shaft houses the wheel. We just want to mount an encoder to read the speed.

Any help would be really appreciated!
