Re: Magnetic Encoder Help
We did call the .start() and .reset() methods in the initialize() section of the command both when we used the Encoder and Counter classes.
We have a magnet mounted to the end of the shaft on which the shooter table pivots and the encoder board mounted right next to the magnet. An ASM representative told us that these specific encoders are meant to give a reading every 1.4 degrees which makes it applicable for our position sensing.
the diamond infinity error showed for both .getRaw() and .getVoltage() methods in the PWM class. if that means i was reading 0 then that's no good either. =/
we can check the wiring on the low pass filter tomorrow but my electrical guy says he's pretty sure he did it right.
any other ideas?

Engineering fundamentally comes down to problem solving, and if the students can't get excited and inspired by the problem solving process because someone has spoon fed them a solution, then nobody wins.
