Do you have any basic example/arduino code for this type encoder module?
Lloyd/ Anyone
I've recently been following your videos and bought your book through Amazon Kindle, thank you very easy to follow.
I have a motor / encoder question. I bought a 12V set of catepillar tracks with a 20 slot opto-isolator encoder wheel on the end spindle of the motor. I have three wires in addition to the obviously heavier power wires.(I connected 12V +/- a battery and the track worked well). However the unit came without wiring instructions to determine for the three remaining wires the GND, Signal, and 5/3.3V. The three cable colours are left to right Blue/Brown/White — a different colour scheme to the version shown in the below link. :-/
Do you have a way I can connect / test with multimeter etc and determine the correct wiring hookups for this unit

Thanks Tim
Keep up the good work.
Great video, I have been fascinated by these robot vacuums and have been buying salvaged models from ebay, reconditioning them and selling them. I am really interested in hacking one or using the parts to build something
had this problem a while ago, gave up on it until now 😀
awesome
EXACTLY what I was looking for! I built my first robot from a mobility scooter but wanted something smaller. I have 2 old vacuums with dead batteries but had NO idea what the wiring was and had NO luck googling it….. until I found your video! I will be headed to your channel page to see what else you can enlighten me with! Thanks for the video.
Thanks for taking the time to make a share this video!
