2007-10-20 Thread Kirk Wallace
I wanted to have a real motor/encoder system for my office EMC instead of using a simulated configuration. So, ruined a surplus printer to get the motor/encoder assembly, which I connected to an L298 and a +12 Volt motor supply. When I got to testing it, I had a hard time with tuning. On occasion,
