I'm not against incremental but I can't see any particular advantage - please explain.
only advantage I see is that it won't care for the missed steps driving back on the pawl.
I'm just leading towards the original way it worked, it worked really well but it was so darn slow, I'd estimate around 8-10 seconds per index, approx 1 minute per full rotation.I really cant get my head around VBscript but is it not possibble to get it to rotate 45 degrees, check pins and rotate another 45 if not correct configuration of the 3 sensors and continue to do this until the correct config is reached. then obviously reverse at the end to lock.
You're still thinking servo. When we incorporate the positional info (pins), we'll know where we are so we'll know how to get where we want. Why "hunt" for something when we know where it is?
