Low Res Optical Encoders for Speed Control

[Ekcrbe]

I'm not the one to go to for technical answers, but this year, we actually put our encoder on a gear reduction from the shooter so it wasn't running as fast as the shooter, and then compensated accordingly in the calculations.

My 2 hillbilly pennies.

We are using a 360 count s4 encoder from US Digital, we basically use the same PID loop with feed forward that 341 does.

We were getting our shooter +- 25 rpms pretty easily.
