Re: VEX Optical Shaft encoders in FRC
They only give counts with no direction info. However this simplifies the programming. When I saw that VEX was going to offer encoders, I couldn't see how they were going to implement the interrupts and state machine in easy c. They aren't - just a simple counter. They should be considered off the shelf. There should be an easy c add in. If there was a take off on the cop trans then every team could have some sort of autonomous action with out to much effort. This could improve the 2006 game action. To many teams in 2006 had a autonomous strategy of do nothing.
