Re: Question about encoders and degree measurements?

If you get confused when using this method, you could include the units as well. This makes it easier to verify that you've properly canceled units. This one would be:

(1 motor revolution / 497 pulses) * (1.2 wheel revolution / 1 motor revolution) * (360 wheel degrees / 1 wheel revolution)

The revolutions all cancel each other, leaving the units as wheel degrees / pulse.

OOPS - didn't see the picture there
