 Not everything has to be cashed in or has to have instant recognition. Sometimes being a part of a program of value and opportunity is enough. And, what you put into the program is what you get out of it. - JaneYoung [more] |

Choosing an Encoder for the Drive-train
From my research on the forum it appears the best method for counting rotation in the drive-train is to use an encoder. This year, I’d like to start integrating an encoder during the preseason to become more familiar with them. Unfortunately, choosing an encoder can be a daunting task. Browsing the Digi-key catalog brings more questions than answers.
Optical or mechanical? PC mount or cable? Is one manufacturer better than others? How much resolution will I need? How much resolution is the robot controller capable of handling? If anyone can provide answers to those questions, or perhaps post their experience with a certain model of encoder it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
