I am in heavy deliberation at the moment. I am trying to decide whether or not I wish to use a potentiometer or encoder for something relating to the subject of this thread. I am pretty much at a loss for good reasons (I have never used potentiometers or encoders before), so I am wondering why you have a bias that steers more towards an encoder than to a potentiometer.
