They will give you your position using an analog voltage from 0V to 5V, they allow roll over, and they work straight from an analog pin (5V supply). You also have the choice to use a digital mode which produces a pulse width based on the current angle. |
How would that encoder fit onto the output shaft of a BaneBots motor? I don't think the gearboxes for those motors have a separate encoder shaft either.
