DJ did you find a answer to this question

DJ Sures · Answer

Currently, not easily. But i do have an idea.... hmmmm!

robotmaker · Answer

yea,be cool latter to have a interface .but any ideas for now will try

robotmaker · Answer

DJ can you share the idea with me yet Also would be a very good add-on for EZB to be able to count pulses great for navigation and distance traveled,and backing up and more

DJ Sures · Answer

The idea is my next ez bit I have been busy with the pcb's for a bunch. There are a few.seems like it has taken for ever. Hard to do it all alone But I can't complain! I have the best job on earth I'm sure of it! Robots robots robots robots robots

This would be cool some like the way the Bigtrak toy worked.

robotmaker · Answer

i made a special magnetic quadrature encoder so hopping DJ will have a interface soon arduino has it ,as basic stamp and mostly all microcontrollers have to read pulses
