Hi,
Can anyone give me an idea concerning position control for a dc motor. I heard that it was possible using a pot. all i have to do is to give the voltage references on the pot (0 and 5V in this case) and then assign 5V a value say 10. so we have 10/5 = 2meter/volts. so if the microcontroller ADC reads 0V initially then every time it crosses the 0V mark, it means that 10 meters have been covered
it seems ok, but is it? if it is ok, then are there any special IC's for it, or would any pot do the trick?
