Best Quadrature Encoder for CIMs

Technical

I am partial to the CTRE Mag Encoders, which are now available in several packaging options.

  • If you’re all about the VersaPlanetary ecosystem, it comes VersaPlanetary-flavored
  • If you’re really into 1/2" hex shafts, it can be mounted on one of those (with the added benefit of interfacing with a VersaBlock).
  • If you’re using an AM14U chassis, you can mount one to a Toughbox Mini (or any Toughbox/Evo series gearbox) with this kit or some neat lego tires.
  • If you’re not into the TalonSRX ecosystem, try the new CANcoder.

There are also plenty of other options, like the new Rev Through Bore encoder and others, but like I said, I’ve had really good experiences with CTRE Mag Encoders.
