Re: How Can I aim at the Vision Target Faster but without overshooting?
Ok, about encoders. They are physical Things? Or is it just code? I think an encoder would suit me very well since I am usnig a forkilft apparatus and I want to stop the forklift at 4 positions. 3 for the different layers of the SPIDER and one for starting position. I think I could write the code for it, but is an encoder an actual thing that I have to put on the motor? Does it come with the kitofparts?

might be a silly question, but I'm running outta time and i would like to know since my metallic sensor doesn't function.

If all else fails I can use a limit switch (I have two I think) for the bottom and top positions, but I dont think i'd be able to use more for the other 2 positions of the forklift since theres no place to but them...maybe...I think encoder would be easier...right? Thanks
