The theory always seems to be that they will get used for autonomous tracking or smoothing out driver control or something. Because the programming team seems to have so much trouble even getting basic functionality, they never end up getting used.
I don't mean that it's hard to design in two drilled holes. I mean that often both sides of the output shaft are used, so there is no easy place for an encoder.
Thanks for the tip about zip-tieing the encoder to the bellypan, and putting it on a wheel shaft. Wouldn't that cause them to rotate off axis?
There are "Problems", and then there are "Solutions". Understand the Problem, and keep your mind open to alternative solutions. Don't get married to a Solution. - rich2202 [more]
