    Motor Design

    Is this homework or something you are actually building? If you want to position with this accuracy you need a resolution of 3600. Among other reasons, this rules out geneva wheel. I think your main question is "how do I size a motor?" http://www.as-automation.com/cheat_pre_reg.html This...
