I just got my 1st rotational sensor and have a quick question for you all.
I have the following gearing on my robot.
Point A
gears
8 <--> 40
8 <--> 40
Point B
so this is:
(5:1) x (5:1) = (25:1) Right?
Now if I put my rotational sensor at Point A, do I have a sensor that measures
400 clicks per rotation? (25 X 16 = 400)
Is this the correct math process?
In my code for ever 400 clicks I'll know that I did 1 rotation right?
Thanks

| Thanks for all the inputs! After testing out the rotational sensor with teh 25:1 gearing I have discovered that it will count 402 clicks for 1 rotation. So the sesnor is reading only 2 extra clicks easy to fix in the software to get my robot to (...) (23 years ago, 25-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics)
