I am looking into adding a knob for setting spindle speed manually. This serial encoder is close to what I am looking for:
http://www.usdigital.com/products/a2/ but is over-kill and way too expensive. Does anyone have a link to an 8 or 10 bit serial (SPI like) absolute encoder? I checked Digikey but didn't find anything. Other options are to use a potentiometer and serial ADC or PWM to serial, but an inexpensive single unit would be better.
