rand3289Optical encoders are the easiest sensors to use with FiberGrid! Here I am testing an encoder with two fibers attached to it
In the future, I will make an encoder wheel with pegs out of alignment in order to place tracks close together. It will also have slits narrowing towards one end to block more light and increase precision. For now I've taken an existing encoder wheel I've found on thingieverse and created a bracket that fits fibergrid plugs. Bracket can be downloaded here.
