Hi,
I'm trying to find a rotary encoder that will produce a count at a
serial port (rather then a pulse) on a PC to use as a variable in
Macromedia Director. The count will be coming from a hand wheel and
the pulses per rotation can be pretty course.
I have little / no experience of doing this but my research has
brought me to this company:
<http://www.encoder-technology.com/>
<http://www.encoder-technology.com/products/rotaryincre/shaftencoders/oewincremental.pdf>
I have asked the sales reps which would be the best encoder for me but
they have only come forwards with questions I don't have the answer
to, or even understand. What I would like is just some guidance as to
which encoder would best suit my purpose, possibly from either this
company or somewhere else if there is a another place.
Unless afore someone has a better suggestion that is as contained I
refer you to my second paragraph.
It is part of an art project and as such I'm working on a budget but
if needs be I might be able to divert some money from other aspects of
it.
I hope someone can help me.
Thanks in advance and best wishes.
