Change direction of a linear motor + encoder

I would like to move a linear motor with an encoder and change its direction when the counter value reaches a specific number through MyRIO. At the moment I have this block diagram.

Hi luna,

 

use a shift register in this while loop to define the direction, based on the result of your encoder reading comparison…

Best regards,

Hi Gerd

I should read the encoder counter value and then compare it with another value? It makes sense to use a threshold?
