I have a question about using pots on crab drives.
It seems to me like you could have a 359 degree rotation using a pot, but then to go from, say, rightish forward to leftish forward wouldnt you need to rotate the wheel all the way around the long way? Assuming 0 on the pot is straight ahead.
Are there pots that give you a range of values up to one turn and if you turn past that they would reset?
We were considering using encoders on these shafts... but I'm not the best programmer in the world
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Dave
