That's in fact a good principle.
Isn't it possible to improve the dynamic range of the light-sensor by taping the red LED, I read that somewhere but I don't know where.
Why not use a continuous grayscale, with pure with and black holes in it to get a continuous calibration ?
Or translate you rotation in a linear movement en using a pure black and white wedge ?
I've plans for several rotation sensors, but they will not meet your criteria ;-), here are some of mine ideas
- using a 10-turn trim potmeter (continuous, low friction, over 360 degrees, small)
- Hall sensor with a concentric moving magnet (continuous, no friction, 360 degrees)
- opto-transmittor with a rotating vane
- grayscale with calibration by using 2 or 3 detectors (inspired by you idea)
