Distance Sensor
Post by jmper29 »
Hi, I am currently having trouble finding a good distance (rpm essentially) sensor for my robot. I've tried a photoresistor, but it seems to be pretty ineffective. Any recommendations?

I have found that motors with inbuilt encoders seem to be effective. Is there a specific one that is recommended?
