Display Degrees of rotation.

[Archangel]

Thanks for all the replys.
I ended up using a hall sensor and the magnets from a CD drive motor for the sensor part. I used a 16F1827 PIC, a 2x16 LCD and other hardware. I now have a rotor controller that will allow me to go from -90 of North to 360 rotation plus an additional +90 of north 540 total degrees of rotation. To give me a HOME position I used a IR emitter detector with a reflective strip to light an LED on the controller panel. I can increment/decrement the "GOTO" poition by either 1 or 10 degrees at a time. I am really happy.

Hi Bob,
Lot's of Hams on this forum. Your project looks useful as all getout to me, might make a great article or entry into one of this forums contests. Food for thought. If you do not intend to make a commercial product, perhaps you would write it up with code and submit it.
