Re: How much PPR do you use on your encoders?

For drive train we use 250 or 360, whichever have or get that season. They're more precise than we can reasonably use.

We also use absolute encoders (analog, no PPR) for where we need repeatability from powerup to powerup (think elevators).

For shooter wheels, it depends on the size of the wheel. We prefer to use 4 minimum, more if we can get it on the wheel itself (hall effect or similar sensor).
