Re: Encoders vs. Hall Effect vs. Banner Sensors

We used our own quadrature hall-effects, but we wished we hadn't. The resolution wasn't good enough, and the counts were limited by the number of magnets we could squeeze into the wheel without cancelling the net charge.

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
