Re: Arbitrary Quadrature Encoder

We have now ordered the first round of circuit boards. Everything should arrive around May 14. These are for test and verification of the design, before we commit to making a bunch. I and several other students will be soldering the boards.

With the circuits we have ordered resistors with different values so we can do some testing and fine tune our encoder.The resistors that will most likely need fiddled with are involved with the voltage divider feeding into the first op-amp. We just don't know how sensitive the SMT phototransistors will be, compared to the through-hole version on the wire-wrapped prototype.
