Re: NEED HELP! H-Drive + Encoders

Encoders measure the amount of motion of a component, most commonly a rotating shaft or axle. To use such an encoder to measure distance along the floor, it needs to be mounted to a wheel rolling on the floor. Most commonly, these are mounted to the gearbox somewhere, or the motors. What gearboxes are you using? Using encoders which are known to support your gearbox will save many hours (and perhaps a whole season) of trouble.
