Math thoughts
So here is the path that my mind is headed down:
Pulley Circumference 2.375"
Rev/Sec 4.21
Travel/Sec 10"
Pulse/sec 6063
Counts/bit A-D 12.126
Freq of pulses 165 uS
My conclusion so far is:
You have a control range of 500 A/D counts on each side (plus/minus)
for every bit of A/D change, you increment your pulses sent out by 12.126 @ full speed
you have to be able to send a pulse every 165 uS to get full speed
encoder counts of 1440/rev give you a movement of 0.00165" per count
So, as long as I can read the A/D's, adjust the gain, check limits, and send out 2 pulse trains in under that time, I should be able to make it work.
Anybody see any holes?
