Shaft encoders are hard to beat. If the wheels are commanded to turn and
aren't, that's a good indication that something is screwy. Plus, if you're
doing dead reckoning, you need them anyway so they are already there!

| Thanks for pointing out the 'dead reckoning' thing. I meant 'object avoidance'! Heh, I think I'd better make another coffee run... Gary Livick wrote in message <381762F1.D9E4F391@p...ll.net>... (...) (25 years ago, 28-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

| Hi all, I'm working on a dead reckoning 'bot. I'm not really interested in what the wheels are doing unless they're stalled. Anyone know any good tricks for monitoring the motor current, or should I go with shaft encoders anyway? Thanks! Paul (25 years ago, 27-Oct-99, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)
