Re: Carnegie Mellon Encoder
I left out something on my last post. Below is a working connection.

Pin E: RC Sig and Connect through a Load Resistor to K (1k will work)
Pin C: +5 Volt RC
Pin K: Blk (Ground)
Pin A: Connect C to A through a 100 Ohm resistor

Also, the EduBot's input receive is too slow to register all turns of the sprocket. The spokes are too thin. To fix this problem, we added paper to increase the width of the spokes. It counts wheel rotations well.
