Unrelated to the main thread - if doing electronic gearing, I
suggest reading about the "encoder-ratio" HAL component.
It was designed specifically for that job, and has some 
tricks to ensure that even if the production line runs forever
in one direction (and thus position values get very large),
the accuracy is not limited by floating point resolution.
