motorencoder?

[Dano]

I have made an encoder out of a mouse and I would like to make a linear motorfader out of it by using some motors I found. I know the encoder is a relative device, but I thought it could be initialized at powerup by bringing the fader to its 0 position where a switch would tell the pic it has reached value 0.

I was hoping TK or some other well advised person could tell me if this would be possible (I guess it needs changes in the MIOS). And also since this is a digital solution it should reduce the time spent for A/D conversion. Will it therefore allow more motorencoders on one core (like 16) ?

'm not the well-advised person you're after, but the motors will still need analogue driving, won't they?

... no - PWM is digital driving

also stepper motors could be used. they only need a 'step up' or 'step down' signal.
