I haven't done the math on this but it seems plausible.

If you did this, you WOULD actually get a quadrature signal that should work with Kevin Watson's encoder code out of the box.

Has anyone actually done this? My gut feeling is that the trouble of mounting and keeping two GTSs aligned out of phase would be more trouble than just using an encoder.

I'd love to hear from anyone who's done this with the kit GTSs though!
