I am doing something very similar, but instead I am trying to follow a
black line on a white background.  Either way, I am using IR detectors and
emitters.  They are readily available and work very well.  I'm sorry I have
never used an encoder to know how to hook it up, but IR works pretty well
once fine tuned a little bit.  If you have questions how the IR works give
me a email and I'll explain it to you.

dear viewers here are some questions i need to ask: 1) my DC motor comes with a 10 pin optical encoder(supply current-10mA) pin 1- GND pin 2- Vcc pin 3- dir pin 4-standyby pin 5 and 6 - A1 and A2 pin 7 &8 - B1 and B2 pin 9 and 10 - Z1 and Z2 how do (...)
