Hello all,

We were wondering if it is at all possible to use the Encoder motor with the ROBO Interface ?
Specifically with the encoder cable as a digital input.
Can one simply connect the cables to the interface like so; RED(data) to I1, GREEN(ground) to I1 and RED (power) to 9V+ ?
Or is the encoder function only working for the TX Controller ?

Thanks

Hello,
it ist possible the way you describe it.
But there remains one Problem: The Frequency of the Encoders is too fast for the ROBO-IF, it's not able to count the Signals when the Motor is running in full Speed. Some Signals will be lost.
So you need to lower the Velocity of the Motor.

Greetings,

Thanks for such a quick reply !
We have tried slowing down the motor speed but it still does not work.
As soon as the RED(9V) cable is connected, the digital input shows "1" and stays that way.
