Re: Encoders — Noise

We are using Windriver, but were able to set up a task (indirectly through the PIDController) that retrieved the encoder count every so often (about 20 ms for us), and dividing the difference in encoder counts by the time between checking. If you are using Labview, I believe it has a timed loop that you could use for something similar.
