 The major items of FIRST are still what they always were.....understand the game, build a reliable quality machine to play it, train you drivers to use it to its full potential. If you do these things, you can win with or without any specific machine feature. - Jim Zondag [more] |

How do you wire the wheel encoders?
We got a packet called "Analog Devices Sensor envelope" and another called "Gear Tooth Sensor Envelope." Which is the wheel encoder, if any? How do you wire it? What do the "pins" mean/do?What will they output? Do you need to input anything? (they are actually just solder joints that we soldered leads onto.)
How do you get them to work?! A full explanation would be very much appreciated, but even if you have just a little idea to get us started would help. Thanks, Demothesis |

Re: How do you wire the wheel encoders?
The gear tooth sensors can be used as encoders if you put them near a gear or sprocket in your drivetrain. This document will tell you how to wire them up, and also will point you to other documents with application notes:

Re: How do you wire the wheel encoders?
All right!
Thanks a lot. I'll post back if I have any problems, but that in combination with Kevin's FRC Code repository (if even necessary) seems to be sufficient. Thanks again, Demothesis |
