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

Yes but factually the other guys are often doing no less. They are sometimes using different terms to do it. Course this means you may have to double check.

FRC11 has been using the Grayhill potentiometer style encoders recently. Too many issues with the end of shaft style. Using the terms used as criteria for this topic we get 128 cycles per revolution.
