@zander Ron, if I have some code that defines the x_pin for a joystick as input, what would be the equivalent pin on a rotary encoder that would accom...

@zander Ron, the amount of air coming in is not going to be a problem. What I still need from an encoder would be control of rotational increments bet...

@zander Hi Ron. Maybe I don't get the whole picture yet but, if I drive the stepper in one direction without a limit switch, would I not possibly be d...

Hi Hilldweller, thanks for the feedback. I realize I can figure out the number of steps required to go from one point to the next and back but, I need...

@davee Thanks Ron, I'll pursue the idea of a micro switch to index the rotation. Take care.

@davee All good advice Dave. If I use a rotary encoder, how exactly do I go about making it remember where it was last in rotational position once po...

@robotbuilder The device does not exist yet, I'm going to build it. Fab of parts is not a problem, just need some electrical advice. The truck origin...

@zander Thanks Ron, so if I want to keep things simple, I would wire this assembly to remain hot all the time. That would be fine for me. The other ...

@lee-g Used to play the 5 string, just kept the old email address.

@davee Thanks for the information Dave. If I use a rotary encoder for example to rotate the motor 180 deg., the vent door being closed at 0 deg. and...

@ronbentley1 Good morning Ron. What I would like to do is fab up a small ventilating system for a custom truck I'm building. It is a 1950 Chevy 3100 p...
