Hi all, I am working on an animatronics project and need to control two linear actuators. The linear actuators are DC Motors connected to a gearbox and output through a leadscrew. On the shaft of the motor is an encoder wheel. Unfortunately, it is not quadrature. Only a single channel. 4 openings o…
