Re: Optical Sensors Used as Encoders?
Our team had a hole milled into the side plate of the gearbox such that we have a banner sensor on each gearbox. There's a single piece of retroreflective tape on one gear in each gearbox. The program (which I don't know that much about, sorry.) counts the number of times that the banner sensor views the tape. This works really well for autonomous and is really easy to adjust. Good luck!
