Overview
The Linear Encoder is a component that simulates a physical encoder.
It consists of two components; Physical and Logic. Both are needed to control the motor through a logic adapter (connecting the Linear Encoder to an external controller through a Logic Simulator ). Add Control Panel gives you the option to control the encoder from the Unity scene.
...
Where to find
The Linear Encoder can be found under Standard Components > Linear Encoder
...
A Prismatic Joint will be created automatically as part of the component.
