The hardest part, assuming you could find a way to read both clockwise and
counterclockwise rotations, is going to be converting velocity (which is
effectively what the motor will tell you) into position, assuming that is
what you wanted to do. This is trickier than it sounds. If all you are
interested in is some indication of velocity, then the motor might do the
trick.
----- End of forwarded message from Kekoa Proudfoot -----
The direction of rotation is reflected in the direction of current flow.
It's actualy not velocity, it's angular accelleration.
The actual technology of a servo or sel-syn system have been around for
about 100 years. It's well known technology and should be covered in any
decend system control text.
