Measure the move

One turn.
How far?

Choose a wheel, set a destination, and watch encoder degrees become real distance on the mat.

WORKING QUESTIONWhich wheel needs fewer degrees to travel 800 mm?Think about the distance around one complete circle before you run it.

COMPARE THE SCALE56 / 62.4 / 88 MM

56 mm

88 mm

62.4 mm

Same distance. Different turns.

Place the destinationReady

Set a distance on the line. The wheel travels there while its colored mark shows the rotation.
