Adding wheel encoders to 4WD Mobile Platform
Account cancelled 2011-08-16 06:41:08 6773 Views4 Replies Hi,
I just bought the wheel encoder package for my 4WD mobile platform. After I installed one of the encoders, the motor + encoder does not fit in the base anymore. The circuit board and the JST connector stick out beyond the end of the base. Is there an easy solution to this problem?

Any other options to add encoder to the old platform? rberger

Yes, the encoder still can't work with the ROB0003 because of the closed body design. If you really want to drive the 4WD mobile platform, I suggest to choose ROB0025. :) Lauren

Lauren 2012-12-17 20:36:02 Is this still an issue with this kit? Would want to use encoders with the RB0003 rberger
rberger 2011-08-16 18:48:07 Hi Mark,
The only solutions I can think of is either do not attach the cover, or carefully remove the JST connector and solder the wires directly onto the encoder (That way they just bend). We will place a notice on the product page about this problem, the next version will be slightly extended to overcome this problem.
