Yet another Single Channel Encoder
Posted: 06 Mar 2019, 21:50
Hi All
I've been working on a single channel encoder based on an Arduino Pro Mini for the past two years, indeed it was completed over a year ago and I've been flying it since then, but it has taken me longer to write a manual for it than it took me to write the code.
The encoder has worked out quite well, but not the manual, it seems 18 pages of gibberish (and I wrote it). I've decided I'm not a natural author and would never earn a living writing manuals. If anybody would care to improve the manual I'd be very grateful
I built a number of prototype encoder boards and have 6 that are spare and to the final specification, so if anybody would like one to try out, just PM me.
Finally I never know where a project like this should be posted, in the Single Channel section, in the Arduino stuff section, in the project section? If Ron or Phil would like to move it where they think best, it would be appreciated.
Cheers
Mike
PS The instructions have been updated with Phil_G's suggestions and corrections
PPS A new version of the Arduino Sketch/Program has been uploaded to fix a bug with the low voltage alarm
