Nope. It's a r&d project. I own a small shop, and I'm trying to build my own plotting/surveying device. The systems that are on the market are too expensive for me to justify buying yet ($10,000+). I'm just trying to get a good idea of what I need before I jump into this.
Thanks guys. Does anyone know how I can expect to handle the output? I see that there are lots of encoders out there, and I'm wondering how I will link the readout and the encoder. Will I need an absolute encoder module? I also may decide that I would rather run the encoder output into a...
Hello, I'm new here. I am interested in making a surveying device, and need a way to indicate rotation angle to better than .01 degrees. The output would be 0-360 degrees, displayed by a digital readout in the format 000.000. The device is rotated by hand, and if it were rotated over 360...
