E4T OEM Miniature Optical Encoder Kit

I haven't used the encoders yet since we just installed them. However, the installation job was made much harder trying to screw the supplied screws (machine bolts) into the Toughbox Mini mounting holes. The bolt diameter was slightly larger than the holes, so we couldn't get them started. Once we realized that the holes were not threaded, so we didn't have to worry about stripping them, we found slightly smaller bolts and were able to force them in. Small self-tapping screws (i.e., with a pointed end) would have been a much better provided screw.

These work great on the standard kit of parts gearbox. The only problem is if the gearbox must be disassembled the encoder will be destroyed and must be replaced

Added 2 of these to my home AM14U5 - mecanum robot. Reading wheel rotation on both wheels.
Will be working on autonomous path following in the near future. Good job again Andy Mark.

I'm using to be that came with Evo shifters, works great.
When disassembled the transmission it moves and the signal is lower than the other mounted in the opposite side.
Which is the measure between sensor and disc?
