Shifting topic slightly... How reliable/repeatable are the mechanical rotary encoders? A digital one will give a nice clean A/B waveform, but will a mechanical one be susceptible to debouncing? Or does the quadrature waveform take care of this? (If it can be sampled fast enough) Frank ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sell apps to millions through the Intel(R) Atom(Tm) Developer Program Be part of this innovative community and reach millions of netbook users worldwide.
