straight heading encoder odometry step calculator online

Use straight heading encoder odometry step online for left ticks, right ticks, ticks per rev, wheel diameter mm, track mm. Incremental center travel and yaw only; no global pose integration. Idealized robotics model using explicit dimensions and conventions. Obstacles, structural limits and control-system safety are not determined.

How to use it

Enter left ticks. Set right ticks, ticks per rev, wheel diameter mm, track mm. Select Calculate and check the labeled output. Copy or download the JSON result.

Options and example settings

OptionChoices / valueExample default
left ticksMain input. Signed finite values. 100
right ticksOption. Signed finite values. 120
ticks per revOption. Positive values. 1024
wheel diameter mmOption. Positive values. 100
track mmOption. Positive values. 400

Calculation method

center_step_mm = (left_ticks+right_ticks)/2/ticks_per_rev*pi*wheel_diameter_mm; yaw_step_rad = (right_ticks-left_ticks)/ticks_per_rev*pi*wheel_diameter_mm/track_mm (^ means exponentiation; trig functions ending in d use degrees).

Worked examples

Apply straight heading encoder odometry step to the case below, keeping the displayed units and assumptions. Incremental center travel and yaw only; no global pose integration.

Straight Heading Encoder Odometry Step — worked case

Settings: right ticks: 120; ticks per rev: 1024; wheel diameter mm: 100; track mm: 400

Input:

100

Calculated result for these inputs:

Output:

{
  "center_step_mm": 33.74757733348411,
  "yaw_step_rad": 0.01533980787885641
}

Choose the right tool

Use forward kinematics to map joints to a position and inverse kinematics for reachable position targets. Encoder resolution is not mechanical accuracy; supplied motion and gripping models do not certify a robot cell.

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Incremental center travel and yaw only; no global pose integration. Idealized robotics model using explicit dimensions and conventions. Obstacles, structural limits and control-system safety are not determined.
  • Use the displayed unit in every field. Ratios and percentages are different inputs; percent fields use values such as 25 rather than 0.25.
