Re: [PSUBS-MAILIST] Rudder angle indicators



Frank.
Am wondering what the diameter of the shaft is that your motors are mounted on.
I think I recall you saying that it rotates at the hull & are assuming you'd mount the rotary potentiometer
on the hull with a magnet on the rotating shaft.
I am making up a 10k rotary potentiometer using 10 x 1k resistors (hopefully) so this will be compatible
with Jens unit.
Jens LED display will work with the linear potentiometer wich is 10k but with the 340 degree rotary
potentiometer we will be only using 180 degrees of this so less than 5k of resistance.

Hi Jens. That's a very nice little device. Do you have a sketch of the schematic and a parts list ? Looks like a simple way to generate the display. Nice work !
