Product Overview

This is the revolutionary Lamprey Absolute Encoder. It is a 10-bit absolute encoder specifically designed in collaboration with 221 Systems for the next generation of Swerve and Steer. It features a large hollow bore and is great for swerve drive steering, arm joints, or anywhere you need to directly measure your output without being at the shaft end.

It features a custom PCB with the sensor elements and a custom ring magnet to use as a sensor target. The ring magnet is designed to pilot on the flange of any of our 1.125" OD bearings. To install it, glue to any rotating surface or 3D print a custom hub. The magnet can be sensed from either side of the board.

The interface and included cable use a 0.05 in. 2x5 pin header and IDC cable. This lets you plug directly into a Talon SRX speed controller and interface with other popular components for FRC competition use.

The encoder can be acquired as the encoder only, just the magnet, or a bundle which contains the encoder PCB, the ring magnet, the 10 pin SRX data cable, am-2617 and the mounting hardware used in the Swerve and Steer.
Note: As indicated here it is necessary to cut pins 5 and 7 when using this sensor directly with a speed controller to prevent the sensor from restarting intermittently.

Pinout:

The Lamprey uses a 10-pin IDC cable arranged in a 5x2.
