Re: Fixing AndyMark's Swerve & Steer Module Problem

Wouldn't you have been able to count the revolutions in code and make it work that way? I would wager that is what Andy Mark expected you to do.

It's not all that different from needing a scaling factor for your drive encoders or for any other sensor. I understand it would be more convenient if one revolution of the module = one revolution of the encoder, but having one revolution of the module be more than 1 revolution of the encoder actually makes your measurement system more accurate.
