Reading the angle of a shooter
Hello. I'm trying to put together a variable angle shooter. I'd like to measure the angle, and adjust the mechanism driving the shooter's tilt accordingly. I've heard of something called a potentiometer, but I don't know what they are or what they look like or how they work.
Can anyone offer guidance as to what I should use? Suggestions, part numbers, that sort of thing? I program in labview by the way.
Unfortunately the design team hasn't settled on the actuator for the mechanism's tilt, so I can't provide more info on that right now.
Thanks,
Benjamin
