Looks real nice.

Here's a tip that will save you time and money. If those pots have hard stops at each end and can be broken by being driven past those stops, add some mechanical stops to the system. Your electrical team will thank you. The system will get away from you at least once during early software development and will start spinning wildly. It's just something I've heard and not from any personal experiences

Can you share with everyone how you plan on using the data from both pots? We've contemplated adding redundancy in the past, but have never come up with an easy way to distinguish a good vs a bad pot so we always stick with one.
