I think this should be an easy question, but I’ve searched and can’t find the answer… In the motor dashboard, there is a box called “degrees.” Is this the sensor motor reading? The reason I’m asking is because we have a program that resets the motor encoder to zero when a limit switch is hit. However, “degrees” does not go to zero when the limit switch is hit. Should it? Trying to help debug.

no, the motor position in user code is not connected to the displayed position in the dashboard, we keep a local offset for each motor to be able to reset or set position. Something we should probably address in the future,

I think it is important to keep it at the way it is - teach teams about sensor data vs user relative positioning.
Much like - what is the front of the robot? depends on the task
