I haven't used a rotary encoder -- the "optical" variety sounds like a refined version of my idea! -- but it does seem to precisely fit the bill. | |
| Mar 14, 2023 at 15:55 | comment | added | Coder | Thank you for the response, I must say the idea of the led strip was pretty unique and intelligent. I don't think I will be using that method though because I want to conserve space on my project. I do think you're right about having an independent system to check the angle of the servo is the right way to go. I'm going to think of an independent measuring system that fits in a smaller space and if that doesn't work I'll probably end up using a potentiometer or a rotary encoder. Would you say using any of the 2 devices mentioned above is a better solution ? | |
