Since the new rotation sensor does an absolute value from 0 to 360, can i still use it for odometry? Should I just use the optical shaft encoders instead, even though they are less accurate? Thanks for any advice.
You can use the sensors to give an absolute rotation if you do mySensor.position(deg). The new sensors work much better for odometer as they have a higher resolution and are lower profile. They also use a regular cord instead of two three wires.
