Hi...

In order to save some coinage i'm gonna make my encoders from a bunch of old serial mice. Has anybody else gone this route on they're midibox? How did they respond? I'm gonna follow the guide from that 'diy spinner' pdf posted a while bak...but also integrate a pushbutton...;)

Also, am i able to use the opto-interrupter from both the x and y axis so I can get 2 encoders from one mouse...?

Finally, 36 pulses seems the number that has been said before, should i roll with this or make it 40 as suggested in the pdf...?

Ta,

Dan
