Sensor for linear distance
So I'm embarking on a project. I am in need of linear sensors for distance traveled. I am looking at the string potentiometer from AndyMark, but would like to know if anyone has experience with any other form.
IR sensors are not going to work for the project as the risk of the sensors getting feedback from another is too high.
