Did you have any problem with the slack resulting from the gear train? With
so much gears the error generated slack should be greater than the
precision.
I don't have a rotation sensor yet but some assemblies I made in the past to
control sterring with touch sensors had this problem. i never solved it. :(
PS: Are you brazilian?

| I don't really need it to be really precise, because, yes, the gear train is a huge factor in a situation like that. I only built the gear train and I'm using another rotation sensor as the reference for my controller. Depending on the position I (...) (24 years ago, 5-Jun-00, to lugnet.robotics)
