Any data back from Roboclaw indicating movement without using encoder?
Any data back from Roboclaw indicating movement without using encoder?
Hi,
I made a mistake a beginning and got a robot kit + motors withOUT encoders.
Have successfully gotten the robot to move around, gently bump into things (walls) and monitor the amps to know when that occurs.
Is there any other data back from Roboclaw that gives some indication of movement?
thanks

No. Encoders are required to detect movement. Though your method of checking current works in alot of situations(but not all).
