The information for the FIT0521 motor indicates gearbox ratio of 34:1, with 11 pulses per motor rev on encoder. It also says 341.2 counts per revolution of output shaft. Which one is correct? I would have thought output pulses would have been 34*11 = 374?
Both are probably correct. From the product page:
Hall Resolution: Hall Resolution 11x Precision Reduction Ratio 34.02 = 341.2PPR
I’d say there are 10 sections in the encoder set at 36° on the motor shaft, but one full revolution of 360° triggers the first one twice, giving 11 counts per single revolution.
