I think you're down to getting the VexPro Shifter encoder kit or the Andymark Encoder package or Mount Pad and drilling/tapping or gluing to get them attached. If you're using a kit with one of the US digital mini encoders, I'd encourage you to get the centering tool directly from US digital, so you can make sure the encoder is centered on the shaft. |
Agreed.
There were many details that were left out in the original post and in my reply. More details are needed to give a complete answer.
Suffice it to say, there doesn't appear to be an off the shelf solution. Some custom manufacturing will be needed.
