Re: Rotary encoders vs. price

Alot of the popularity comes from how easy they are to mount. For example the greyhills yoy can easily zip tie down the wire and attach to a shaft via surgical tubing (so I hear). To some teams that justify the price. I perfer the CUI ATM-102V encoders because of the price, that said they are a pain to mount, but for my team that is a sacrifice we are willing to make.
