Absoloute Potentiometer for swerve drive
My team is prototyping a swerve drive this fall and is having trouble finding a sensor for determining the posistion of a wheel. We are using the WildSwerve modules forom Team 221 which have .25" shafts for sensors. The KOP encoders seem to offer a good degree of accuracy (360 degrees), but they do not have an absoloute zero. From what I know, this means they would re-zero themselves every time we turn the robot on, which is not ideal.
Any advice on the problem in general or a specific sensor would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks in advance
