| May 12, 2013 at 18:16 | comment | added | MyUserIsThis | @HikeOnPast Thanks for the answer. I think I don't, all the problems related to that I can fix them from software, so it's not essential. I've been looking and I think that I will have to use incremental ones, that I'm seeing are a lot cheaper than absolute ones. Plus I'm seeing that the "resolution" of them is the PPR times 4, because of the change of state... so I will have to find one of at least 90PPR | |

You may need an absolute encoder rather than an incremental encoder, though it's unclear from your description as to exactly what you require. Incremental encoders are generally less expensive, but can't give you angular position at powerup without some help. | |
