thanks!
This fall I started a thread asking many similar questions about encoders.
Here is the link for that thread: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=31122

and here are some others:

Also, browse through the white papers here on Chief Delphi about the implementation of encoders, gyros, and pots.
Here is the paper for 1227's code from 2004, which uses all of these sensors.
Here is a paper about gyros.
Here is a paper about quadrature output encoders.

I am sure you have looked at www.kevin.org/frc which has many many things valuable to programming.

Hope this helps, and most importantly, keep asking questions!
