A
Two incremental encoders are set up as a Vernier. Both send out 500 pulses per revolution (no quadrature). Encoder A is geared such that 49 turns of the motor result in one turn of Encoder A.
Encoder B is similar, only geared 50:1. Initially, the two index (AKA home) signals are synchronized. After the system has been running awhile, Encoder A sends a home signal, 30 Encoder B pulses later (constant direction), Encoder B sends a home signal.
How far has the MOTOR turned??
I came up with 120 Rev. but that seems like to many.
[360deg/rot] / [3deg/count] = 120
I do not think this is correct but I gave it a shot.
Thanks in advance for any help !!!
