Re: 2016 Bosch motor 6004 RA3 194-06

Hello, our team has decided that they would like to use this on an elevator component. We have a few questions on how we can implement this motor to its fullest.

1) Wiring. We have the motor +/- and have been driving them. However, we are not sure how to wire the two addition wires (additional to the motor power) to gain access to the internal encoder (Hall effect sensor?).

2) If this is a hall effect sensor what part of the RoboRio do we plug it into? Is it digital or analog?

3) If the "encoder" that is in this motor is a hall effect sensor what component do our programmers use to get information from it to base position on. Is this a Counter object?

Thanks all, and happy last week of build!
