Hello, I am looking at Vex V5’s optical shaft encoders.
This is the link to the part: Optical Shaft Encoders
I was wondering if okapi or pros supports these.
I found this on the Okapi API but was not sure whether or not it would be able to use the sensors I am looking at.
I am a beginner, so would anyone please let me know if they know if it works or not, or if they have used it before with pros?
Thank you!
Welcome to the forum. There are many resources out there for all things vex. One is the vex knowledge base. It includes an article on that sensor here: https://kb.vex.com/hc/en-us/articles/360039512851-Using-the-V5-3-Wire-Optical-Shaft-Encoder
Thank you. I had previously viewed that link before, but I was looking for a resource that would explain its compatibility with PROS.
Ah, you caught me not reading your well asked question closely. I do not have an answer but you have asked in the right place.
Okay, thank you. I will keep looking.
The PROS documentation explains the API for interfacing with Encoders that use the ADI ports:
