Motion feedback, has to be easier

Catwell
Catwell over 15 years ago
Anyone try anything besides encoders or potentiometers for motion feedback? If so, how did it work out?

I want to make a feedback systems, but have found encoders to be too expensive. I want high precision and low cost, like anyone would. I willing to even take a slight hit in accuracy, if the price is right. In this case, I would assume I could use math to smooth out the inaccuracies to a point where it would be negligible.

However, don't let price stop you from sharing feedback solutions with us. Every idea could lead to inspiration.

    Why not use MEMs?, such as the LIS range:

     

    http://www.st.com/stonline/products/families/sensors/accelerometers.htm

     

    They have been around for a while so they are pretty much a tried and tested technology.

     

    They sell development kits here:
