    Default Encoder and Potentiometers

    I have found the data for the old control system on what kind of resolution encoder and potentiometers we could have used

    Is there some sheet for the new Control System and Analog Breakout on suggested resistance and resolution for potentiometers and encoders respectively???

    Default Re: Encoder and Potentiometers

    I'm not aware of a sheet. If you post the document, then I'll furnish those parameters for the new system.

    Basics are: 12-bit ADC +/-10V. This means that if you use a 0-5V sensor you get 10-bit measurements. You can oversample to improve resolution.

    For encoders, you can measure at 38,314 pulses per second maximum. Unlike the past, the decoding is independent so you can run them all at the max rate.
