Re: Motor with a built in Potentiometer..?

You may couple a pot to the motor shaft, you may couple a pot to the mechanism, you may use an encoder in place of the pot for each of these applications or you may use a microswitch to sense position(s). You may not modify the motor except to modify the mounting under the rules.
