Re: Kit opto encoder resolution?
My team tried to use similar encoders to those in the KOP to read the angle of a swerve module, but we had trouble getting quality readings. If you are trying to do this, my advice is to find another sensor that is designed for this purpose. The KOP encoders to designed to read rotary changes (such as RPM on a gearbox) so that the program can respond accordingly.

Good Luck
