Hi Andy, My definition of absolute encoder for this exercise is as follows:
Given a rotary table of infinite rotations I want the encoder to count to 359.9999(???? depending on resolution) and the next position to be 0.000. The axis position of 90 degrees is always the same place. The sign +/- tells the rotary table which direction to move to get the to the commanded position - ie: +90.00 and -90.00 are the exact same spot - one moved clockwise to get there and the other moved counterclockwise to get there. I think a resolver would be the way to go. thanks Stuart On Thu, Jan 21, 2016 at 4:51 PM, andy pugh <bodge...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 21 January 2016 at 22:45, Stuart Stevenson <stus...@gmail.com> wrote: > > Gentlemen, > > I desire to use an absolute encoder. > > I will work that direction if someone will point me to a good starting > > point. > > What sort of absolute encoder?
