TB Nano Encoder Spacing
We got two Toughbox Nano's this year for our mechanum drive, and tonight we started mounting encoders. But there seems to be a problem - the entire drive shaft wiggles axially by about 1mm on one and 1.5mm on the other. Since the encoder disks mount directly to this shaft, we're worried that this may cause the disk to get out of focus, or even possibly crash. Has anybody else noticed this issue, and what's your opinion of the wiggle room on the encoders?
