Re: Interfacing basicx with DC motor with encoder - phuo...@yahoo.com - Mar 23 0:54:46 2009
Hi all,
I am looking for an encoder for DC motor. Could anyone give me some suggestion about which the encoder I should us for my DC motor.
the maximum output RPM of my motor is 3000, motor shaft diameter 1 - 3mm.
Thanks in advance for your kind help.
