The potentiometer that we have "stops" after a certain degrees of rotation (<360). Is there a potentiometer that has "unlimited" amount of rotation? Or how else/what sensor could I use?
Edit: It took me a while to actually reply so by the time I replied, the answer was already given... So my new question is how do I attach an encoder to a window motor and what encoder should I use? Also, what is the difference between magnetic encoders and digital encoders? We have used encoders on the AM gen 1 shifter before but don't know how to use it in any other application.
