13. Wheel Encoders
The PololuWheelEncoders class and the associated C functions provide an easy interface for using the Pololu
Wheel Encoders [http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/1217], which allow a robot to know exactly how far its motors
have turned at any point in time.
This section of the library makes uses of pin-change interrupts to quickly detect and record each transition on the
encoder.
For a higher level overview of this library and example programs that show how this library can be used, please see
Section 6.k of the Pololu AVR C/C++ Library User’s Guide [http://www.pololu.com/docs/0J20].
