Re: Encoder instability

Grasping at straws...

It's a Hall Effect sensor, right? Perhaps there's magnetic interference. Might you have a high-current conductor running too close, or the side of a really powerful motor jammed up against it?

Do you have anything in the program that resets the encoder value? Maybe it's being told to do it at an inappropriate time.
