Sample program displaying the value of a quadrature encoder on the SmartDashboard. Quadrature
|
|
Encoders are digital sensors which can detect the amount the encoder has rotated since starting
|
|
as well as the direction in which the encoder shaft is rotating. However, encoders can not tell
|
|
you the absolute position of the encoder shaft (ie, it considers where it starts to be the zero
|
|
position, no matter where it starts), and so can only tell you how much the encoder has rotated
|
|
since starting. Depending on the precision of an encoder, it will have fewer or greater ticks per
|
|
revolution; the number of ticks per revolution will affect the conversion between ticks and
|
|
distance, as specified by DistancePerPulse. One of the most common uses of encoders is in the
|
|
drivetrain, so that the distance that the robot drives can be precisely controlled during the
|
|
autonomous mode.
