Hi all,
I’ve a Lynmotion wheeled platform with 4 gear motors and about to get encoders for them from Lynxmotion as well (motors are encoders compatible). Motors are controlled via Sabertooth (PWM signal from Navio+).
I did a lot of research, but stuck for now trying to get idea about the protocol (data format) for the encoders. It seems everyone refers to them as a standard USDigital encoders, but even this doesn’t help me getting idea of how to read results from encoders.
The only idea I have - is it seems PPM input should help, but I really would appreciate your help with if it’s possible to read whose encoders using Navio+!
Thank you all in advance for your help!
