My former manger had this non-contact inductive sensor that he was in love with. It required customer metal work to feed in to the holes in the sensor. Each unit needed the metal tweaked. To top it off the output was very non-linear so I had to fix that problem in software. I proposed the Vishay unit but he would not let me use it. It had linear output, didn't need customer metal work, and each unit would be identical. When you counted the custom metal work, the prices where competitive. I'll let you figure it out, I never have. If you want a cheap encoder use a stepper motor: http://www.4qdtec.com/stpen.html Now does any one know of a cheap (<$75 US) absolute position encoder? -- http://www.unusualresearch.com/ http://www.bpaddock.com/ -- Author: Bob Paddock INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB CHIPDIR-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
