Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.

This is a long term project Brian, more about the journey than the destination. Well thats my excuse.

I worked out I needed to track wheel rotations. Sending a constant PWM signal to the motor controllers wasnt good enough if there was a bump it needed to go up, etc. Added a pair of inductive pickups to the wheel sprocket, working on the code ( using a arduino for that ).

Unfortunately work gets in the way. I find I need to spend less and less time on the PC, so the coding that generates income is taking priority.

OK,

Thanks Glenn. I can see the need for position feedback.
I can also see the need to earn money to live on.
Will await your next instalment/update.
