GearTooth Sensor Destroying Hopes of Autonomous~!!!!!!

A piece of threaded rod can be coupled to a piece of 1/8" key stock. Attach the encoder with a piece of 1/16" aluminum angle. You'll need a female by female PWM extension cable.
Works very well for going "x" feet during autonomous. Could easily be done Thurs. morning.

How do you interface with those in the code? Does it just give you a tick every revolution or something similar?
