I think that the AEDR _ought_ to work. They are a commercial product, after all. Part of my problem was that I had no adjustment for sensor-to-target spacing, and to make matters worse I had a sensor and a target on both sides of the PCB (The PCB was sandwiched between two encoders, because of the wacky idea I was experimenting with). I mainly gave up because my (scratch built) motor turned out to be rather too weak. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1916 _______________________________________________ Emc-users mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users
