(Line may have to be unwrapped.) Jon, it depends on where you are looking at. In an RC system for model plane, if you look to the RF modulator input, you are right (first row of schema you posted). But if you look to each servo control wire (the original topic of this thread), then the information position is coded with the pulse width. Really that depends from the original Phil Kraft design and implementation (dated middle '60 if I remember well). The _recent_ RC servos are quite forgiving of the frequency of this pulse: the more advanced ones have a microcontroller inside in order to drive the electrical engine to a quite high PWM frequency and get lesser losses. That was not necessarily true in the past though, because the old RC servo circuits heavily depend on the pulses period of 20-30 ms in order to correctly drive the small engine inside. *am* --------- Andrea Montefusco iw0hdvhttp://www.montefusco.com tel: +393356992791 fax: +390623318709 - -- RSA(R) Conference 2012 Save $700 by Nov 18 Register now http://p.sf.net/sfu/rsa-sfdev2dev1 ___ Emc-users mailing list Emc-users@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-users

Hi Kent, all, another example of a software similar to what you are developing is GNU Radio Companion. http://www.joshknows.com/grc Albeit it is from a totally unrelated field (digital radio and DSP), this software too deals with blocks, wires and so on.

[Emc-users] OT: how to interface a quadrature encoder w/o EMC2
First of all I apologize for this off topic question. I have an quadrature encoder to use it as main tune control in a software defined radio. http://www.montefusco.com/gallery/view_album.php?set_albumName=knob to use it as main tune control in a software defined radio. I would like to interface it (on Linux Ubuntu) via a parallel port but without install the EMC2 software. (I know EMC2 because I have a little stepper mill controlled with EMC2). Any suggestion ?
