Re: KOP Mangetic Encoders Don't Spin Full 360
The magnet is fixed to an axle, above which is the chip, mounted on a lexan bracket. The chip is pretty freaking close, but I'll check it out tonight and make sure it is close enough.

I made a mistake in describing the picture. The white numbers show how far it has turned, and the green numbers show how far it would think it has turned (both over multiple revolutions). Take that number modulo 360, and it'll give you the degrees it reads. Sorry about that. I'll try to get some pictures tonight of the setup, if it'll help.
