Re: Sensor Recommendations
If you look at Mouser's web site for Cherry electrical products, you will find a non-contact absolute angular position sensor. They output an analog voltage from .5 to 4.5 volts thru 360 degrees. They make a great replacement for continuous rotation pots and could be used as a quadrature encoder replacement. Automotive grade and tough unit. Includes the magnet. Might be hard to find the corresponding connector. 26$ plus shipping.
