difference between a and z in encoders
A signal, if I understand it, gives 1200 pulses (or 'clicks') per revolution. I want one pulse per revolution. I'm tracking an envelope through some mailing equipment. The software either tracks by inch, or by cycle. Cycles track by a proxy sensor being tripped, inches track with encoders...- theengel
