Any updates on testing this configuration? I'm really liking how slick this is but I'm very curious as to if the assembly can still be mounted to COTS gearboxes. We might want to pick up some of the FIRST Choice ones and try something similar

Be careful about doing this, because I believe the encoders on FIRST choice are a little different than the ones that we used here. While the pins here are parallel to the face that you are mounting to the CIM, the FIRST Choice ones are Perpendicular. So it wouldn't work for this application. However the CUI Encoders on FC are still very useful for the end of a shaft, like an idler, so we'll still be getting some.

The only testing we have done with these have been on a simple flywheel. We attached it to our Frisbee flywheel from 2013 with great results.

I'm sorry for necro-ing this, but:
Are there CAD files anywhere? I forgot to bookmark them if they're here.

Very Nice.

Any chance you would be willing to share the info on this? We are planning on using the new VexPro Single Reduction Clamping Gearbox (P/N: 217-4156) and we were looking for a way to use an encoder with it.

Thanks

Nice but would this be considered "Modifying a Motor"?

No. It does not modify anything about the motor, you're just ataching something to it like you would any gearbox.

Oh ok I thought you machined into the face of the cim.
