Re: Encoders getting different rates

I see what you mean now. That's probably what I'll end up doing later when I go to work on the bot.

I have another question: The side with the higher reading on the encoder right now spins faster than the other side. Once I tune the encoders to be consistent like you said, is there a way I can get the faster side to spin the same speed as the slower? I assume like a pid system where the encoder on the slower side is the setpoint and the encoder on the faster side is the process variable.
How would I make this work with a tank drive though?

Any help?
