Re: What kind of encoders should I get?

Following up on asid61's question: What are you trying to do?

e.g. Do you plan to use the encoders just to close the loop on wheel speed?

or are you going to try to use the 4 encoder velocity readings to compute vehicle speed and yaw rate?

or are you going to try to use the 4 encoder position readings to compute vehicle position and angle?

or something else?
