This is a very basic question. I am running a controls lab for college students. I would like to purchase the
Pololu 12V, 30:1 Gear Motor w/ 64 CPR Encoder
or something like it.
I can get into the specifics of my interests but the main question is:
I have 12 Arduino Mega’s and I want to ensure that it can read the encoder output. My objective is position control of the motor shaft. (not speed) I don’t want to go crazy with arduino programming but I can do interrupts, etc. And I will need to log data, probably through the Serial monitor
My concern is that 64 CPR on the motor will be like 640,000 CPM (for a 10,000 rpm motor) can arduino handle that?
