I'd like to implement some closed loop control for a machine winding a feed of copper pipe around some changing geometry. The tension in the copper pipe feed needs to be controlled to allow for suitably tight bends without damaging either the feed or the apparatus, but at the moment there is no...
I have a TTL incremental rotary encoder mounted to a motor and connected to a controlling computer through a serial interface.
In an effort to improve the motor's low speed/torque response I'd like to investigate the possibility of splitting the encoder output and additionally using it as a...
