sorry about all the questions,I dont do electronics(although now's a good time to learn i guess)
you have to connect the shaft of the encoder to some part in your steering driveline



we mounted it with the same size sprocket as the one on the module to make the math easy.

questions are never an issue, unless your asking who dean kamen is
