I was Googleing for encoders when I found a bunch of radio amateur web pages where people have made DIY encoders with the following chip: http://www.austriamicrosystems.com/eng/Products/Magnetic-Encoders/Rotary-Encoders/AS5040
Anyone tried it? It looks really nice even though it may be too few pulses for some of you guys. I have 400 ppr on my router, gear ratio 3:1 on 5 mm/rev ballscrews, so it's still more precise than the machine can handle. Why do radio amateurs build encoders? Automatic antenna adjustment. :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Crystal Reports - New Free Runtime and 30 Day Trial Check out the new simplified licensing option that enables unlimited royalty-free distribution of the report engine for externally facing server and web deployment. http://p.sf.net/sfu/businessobjects _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
