Re: Encoders

On the topic of Encoders, would it be possible to use a grayhill op encoder on a vex system? If i recall correctly the grayhills run on 5v and just use an interupt port on the full size controller.

As the ports are the same (i believe but i have not found a pin out or anything to tell me if they are exactly alike) so i think it is possible. The reason is our team has several older grayhills around and none of the vex encoders. As i am doing vex as a class and focusing on the programming aspect i would like to know if the sensors could be made to work for vex as well.

The same question also goes for pots.

As for easyC im not very sure. I prefer to write the code by hand as i find it faster and more open ended.
