Measured distance per pulse

Open bradmongar opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

Would it be possible to choose weather you want to use wheel diameter or measured distance per pulse, using wheel diameter creates issues with inconsistent wheel sizing and assumptions about gear ratios. I think if you had a field for distance per pulse or pulses per distance you could then use the tuner and get encoder clicks and measure how far you moved it and come up with a better representation.

I recommend against that. Wheel diameter and gear ratios are much easier to obtain before running the tests. Finding distance per pulse is a manual process, which means even more work for teams.
