Re: Use VexPro VersaPlanetary Encoders without Talon SRX?

You should be able to search for examples of code. If you can't find anything, the first thing we would need to know is what language you're programming in.
We're in Python, and that makes perfect sense reading it. It's our first time using any form of encoder, as we're in our second year, so I really thought we made an "oh crap" moment with these.

Without picking up the breakouts (if worse comes to worse), we can just solder onto the plates on top of those encoders and wire accordingly, correct?
