Create optical encoders for DC motor control feedback loops #7

Open bobforcha opened 4 years ago

bobforcha commented 4 years ago

Some sort of control loop is necessary for the DC motors to be driven properly. For now, a software controller will be designed, but a hardware feedback sensor will be necessary. As an exercise in engineering and penny pinching, I have decided to design and build rotary encoders and quadrature circuits.
