Re: Good Rotational Sensor

For our swerve drive encoders we use the 1/8" shaft Ball-bearing version of the Analog MA3 encoders from US Digital. To hook the shaft to the Banebots output we used surgical tubing. We ziptied one end to the encoder shaft and the other end we ziptied to a piece of #10 all thread screwed into the banebots P60 shaft. In general surgical tubing works very well as a low-load flexible shaft adapter.
