Gene, Why use 12 or 24 volt motors when 5volt or less are readily available? These lower voltage ones are often used for simple PIC projects or in toys and would give less problems as an input for the comparators. Presumably you could protect the inputs by putting a pair of zener diodes

My thought is a pyvcp panel will do what you want. If you want it on a separate panel you may be able to use another monitor to display the pyvcp panel. On Sun, Aug 29, 2010 at 2:40 PM, Alex Joni alex.j...@robcon.ro wrote: On 8/29/2010 9:49 PM, Colin Kingsbury wrote: snip Essentially, I

Nice, thanks, though I was hoping to get something of the size of a large potentiometer. This would be for adjusting a feed rate override, not for jogging. I set my eye on DigiKey item GH6101-ND. i On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 11:38 AM, Jon Elson el...@pico-systems.com wrote: Igor Chudov wrote:
