Re: Motor control for steering

Potentiometers are pretty much the tried and true system but also look into the US Digital Magnetic absolute Shaft Encoder ( Part number MA3-A-B8 ) A bit pricey but very accurate and 360 degrees of revolution so you can revolve the wheel without the limitation of the 270 most potentiometers allow. ( Order the connecting wire as well.)
