getPeriod() equivalent for CANSparkMax java api

Technical Programming
1

The title explains the topic. I need an equivalent function of getPeriod() of the Encoder class for CANEncoder class.

2

CANSparkMax.getEncoder().getVelocity(); is the equivalent of the wpilib Encoder classes .getRate() method (getPeriod() has been deprecated in favor of getRate()).

Ok thank you. I’ll try it right away :blush:

Keep in mind that CANSparkMax.getEncoder().getVelocity() returns the speed in RPM while Encoder.getRate() returns distance per second as scaled by the value from Encoder.setDistancePerPulse()
