On this note, I actually prefer using incremental encoders for absolute rotary applications. I don't have to worry about overflowing/turnover and they are easy to zero out if they slip in a match, which happens even when we set screw our encoder shafts.
Continuous potentiometers are cheaper than encoders, but I can make my own encoders cheaper than even those.
