Re: Help Installing Encoders!

otherguy is correct - the small output shaft on the back is where you mount the encoder. The encoder then sits between and slightly below the CIM motors (which makes it a little difficult to access, IMO).

Simply screw the board and base in place, slide the disc on with the spacer tool, and pop on the cap. Very simple, nothing else is needed (some other gear boxes require an additional plate to mount the base and plate too, thus the encoder mount pad AndyMark sells. Not required here).
