Re: encoders

Properly done, they work well. Properly means the optic wheel is clean & undamaged. The shaft the optic wheel is on needs to be concentric & have very little end float. The optic wheel needs to be tight on the shaft & properly positioned. Other encoders that have their own shafts & bearings are easier to set up & use.
