I also don't know if you can find a cheap one. But, if you could use one, you'd have a 1 to 1 mapping of azimuth angle and pot output. You could use a lookup table to linearize and/or convert back to true azimuth angle.

Wow, what a cool idea. I'll keep that in mind for future designs.

Honestly, shortly after I publicly announced my inability to figure out a way to encode it, I had a Brain Flash. All I had to do was look at it upside down. Now I know exactly how I'm going to pull it off. It will be very simple to do, easy to calibrate, and quick to replace should something go wrong.

I would love to show you, but that would require you to come to the Davis/Sacramento Regional, either that or we make it to Atlanta. Hope we see you there!!!!!!
