Specifications:
Measuring angle from -90 to + 90 degs.
Low friction
Low moment of inertia
Requires high speed
Accuracy about 1° degree.
Needs to be durable, handle mechanical vibration
I use a dc motor as an actuator, this is a custom built servo. This is a very small device, and the encoder must be low in weight, just several grams
Main problems:
Potentiometer: Noise, high friction
Simple ADC reading, no programming required nor are there any interrupts
Quadrotor encoder:
High CPR encoders are typically made for large motors, too big and clunky. They are also more complicated as they include interrupts
No friction, no noise
What should I generally go for, what are people using in servomotors for small but accurate robotics
I'm having trouble finding either, that fit the space requirements and accuracy requirements(at least 360 CPR)
