encoder for cam-driven kicker?

Yeah, but I doubt that the counter in the FPGA is floating-point.

I want to know if the FPGA counter will not overflow during a match.

You can always convert the encoder output into degrees and do:

if (encoderDeg > 360)
 {
   encoderDeg -= 360;
}

Does the above code actually write a new value to the FPGA counter itself? Or just zero the associated RAM variable in cRIO?
