Danny Staple

In Learn Robotics Programming Second Edition, Chapter 11, Programming Encoders with Python, I used simpler encoders but dove into the calculations needed to make specific turns with encoders that could be adapted to the Pico.
The Arduino-based tutorial at https://circuitdigest.com/microcontroller-projects/arduino-based-encoder-motor-using-pid-controller shows how to use a PID controller.
This Python file at https://github.com/pimoroni/pimoroni-pico/blob/main/micropython/examples/inventor2040w/motors/position_control.py from Pimoroni shows a similar Python approach in MicroPython for the Pico.

Danny Staple

Danny Staple builds robots and gadgets as a hobbyist, makes videos about his work with robots, and attends community events such as PiWars and Arduino Day. He has been a professional Python programmer, later moving into DevOps, since 2009, and a software engineer since 2000. He has worked with embedded systems, including embedded Linux systems, throughout the majority of his career. He has been a mentor at a local CoderDojo, where he taught how to code with Python. He has run Lego Robotics clubs with Mindstorms. He has also developed Bounce!, a visual programming language targeted at teaching code using the NodeMCU IoT platform. The robots he has built with his children include TankBot, SkittleBot (now the Pi Wars robot), ArmBot, and SpiderBot.
