    Encoder Information

    Uploaded by

    The document discusses features of the NXT robotics kit motors and encoders. The NXT motors are semi-powerful DC motors equipped with encoders that can measure the distance traveled, with encoders returning 360 counts per revolution. The encoders also enable control of motor speed through algorithms and have two quadrature outputs that are 90 degrees out of phase, allowing the encoder to determine both distance and direction of travel.
