Re: Mounting encoder/cutting 12 in axel

i was just wondering if anyone had tried converting one of the encoders to quadrature? either adding another slot type sensor or maybe printing out a disk and sticking it on the disk in the encoder and mounting a couple of reflective sensors. the second method would probably be the easier as far as positioning the sensors since you could make inner and outer patterns 90 degrees out of phase on the disks and then mount the sensors in a line.

just wondering, you know... not really thinking of trying it myself
