Re: Speed Encoders or Gyros?
Gyro's give you a "Rate of Rotation". Directly reading it will only tell you how fast it is turning. If you integrate the reading over time, you can use it to tell you how far you have turned.
Encoders are typically used to determine how far a shaft has turned. You can figure out how fast it is turning by dividing the distance by an interval of time.
Both have advantages and disadvantages.
As for example code, many samples are available, but we will need to know what you are using to code: LabView, Java, or C++
