Encoder for VEX Single Speed, Single Reduction gearbox

[Kevin Sevcik]

US Digital offers a pretty huge kit encoder that you can get with a 1/2" through bore: E3 Kit Encoder. You could probably mount that to the face of the gearbox and use whatever shaft is left afterwards. It's 0.615 thick, so it'd eat up a decent bit of of your shaft.

Thanks Kevin
We ended up biting the bullet and ordered 2 of the Greyhill units referenced in the Vex documentation, along with the shaft adapters. More expensive than the US Digital units that used to be in the KOP, but they integrated very cleanly with the Vex transmission.

We're planning on using these from FIRST Choice. We think we can modify the encoder mount to accommodate these easily.
