Re: Encoder for a fly wheel
My team is direct driving the shooter wheels with the AndyMark hub and CIM/ miniCIM motors. To measure speed, we are using a slotted optical switch whose light beam is broken by the teeth of a sprocket mounted to the wheel. Although we haven't tested it yet (hopefully tomorrow), I expect that it will be easy to mount and program (the program is mostly done) and give good (48 counts per revolution) resolution data.
