Simple Motor and Encoder Kit
The new simple motor and encoder kit from DAGU combines low cost, reliable encoders with powerful
geared motors and 65mm diameter wheels with soft rubber tires and foam rubber inserts. Perfect for any
hobbyist or student.
The new geared motors offer two shafts that the magnetic encoder dis can be attached to. When attached to
the output shaft the encoder output will change state (high to low or low to high) 8 times per wheel
revolution. When the encoder disc is fitted onto the motor shaft the resolution of the encoder is 948 state
changes per revolution.
