Lynxmotion Gearmotor with Encoder

Hello. I am using this motor(https://www.robotshop.com/en/lynxmotion-12v-480-rpm-2123oz-in-152-brushed-dc-gear-motor-w--encoder.html) in a school project and am wondering how many ticks I should be reading for every rotation of the motor. I couldn’t find this information on any of the product info pages/sections. Please let me know if anyone has any information nor guidance. Thank you!

Hello @rj9 !

Welcome to the forum!

Please, check this tutorial and let me know if that helps you. Also, I’m going to leave you here the datasheet of the encoder.

Hope this could help you! :grin:

I am able to read the encoder ticks properly but was wondering if there was an easy way to find the ticks per rotation for that motor and encoder so I can give commands such as turn X rotations to the motor.
