module 6 of 13
Encoders are the most important sensors for feedback control. This module covers how quadrature, absolute, and integrated encoders work and the specific products you will use.
Encoders: Measuring Position and Velocity is module 6 of 13 in the Programming, Controls & Sensors guide. It picks up where Sensing Fundamentals: Digital, Analog, and CAN Inputs left off and hands over to Gyros, IMUs, and Orientation. Its 3 lessons are about 90 minutes of the guide's ~30 hours.
