Re: pic: Two-speed low profile gearbox + PTO

Ok then if the plates are the same, don't bother making another configuration. Not worth the effort.

Also, is there an advantage to putting the encoder on the gearbox itself? I feel like putting it on a wheel shaft yields more accurate information for coders to determine stuff like distance traveled, etc. since its reading how much the wheel has turned, which directly determines how far you are moving. no math involved(which leads to slight inconsistencies with whats expected vs. whats actually happening). Thoughts?
