I'm using a CUI incremental encoder on the worm, but I forgot to embed a zeroing magnet into the rotation gear; rest assured it's there now.
The speed encoder is the quadrature gear tooth sensor used in the Versaplanetary encoder mod (the Allegro ATS605LSG). The 11t pinion is steel and can be "read" by it.
