As mentioned in my previous post, I am working on a roaming robot. I am using mecanum wheels with quadrature encoders. For preliminary testing, I will only need to keep the platform running straight. Can this be done with only 2 encoders, or do I need to use all 4 encoders and 4 interrupts? I will be using a Mega 2560 for motor control and collision avoidance.
thanks

To keep all four spinning at the same speed, which is what you would need to do to go in a straight line, you would need to use all four encoders.
Love the red platform!
