Team 585, the Cyber Penguins have launched a new Kickstarter project, the Arbitrary Quadrature Encoder. We designed this circuit out of frustration with the high precision encoders that are currently available. For our uses, we were looking for a source of feedback that didn't have to be so precise but can plug straight into the Jaguar. We wanted to be able to control a window motor or a linear actuator with some ability to measure, but not so much that it was a burden to calibrate or keep from getting damaged.

After two years of development, we are now at the point where we are ready to create a printed and assembled circuit for our encoder so that more than just our team can benefit from our research and design. We explain how it works and have a demonstration video on the Kickstarter page. Please let me know what you think.

This is really cool! I remember talking to you during the Las Vegas regional and you had a demonstration unit on the table. I'm going to back it, good luck!
