Default Re: Motorised faders for a scratch build lighting control system

We may have a solution....

Endless faders, using a rubber belt attached to a quadrature rotary encoder. No need for any mechanisation at all, it will all be relative and the position indicator will be an LED bar graph rather than the slide position.

There are still some issues to be ironed out, such as getting the belt the right length and calibration such that the bar graph moves in sync, but it seems extremely promising. It may seem a bit weird to start with though :P
