Re: understanding position control with encoders

Oh. Ha. Ok. Yes, it is an absolute encoder. Ignore what I said then. As I sadi above, didn't realize that it existed, so when I saw 'encoder' without absolute I made assumptions.

Kids, this is why you don't assume. Otherwise, Ether points out your follies.
