Chasing LEDs question

Jan 15, 2009 1 Replies

Greetings All, I would like visual indication of the position of a remote motor shaft. The way I've already done it is to use the shaft encoder signals with an IC that outputs step and direction pulses. I then use these signals with associated circuitry to drive a stepper motor mounted pointer. This works OK but I'm thinkling that 100 LEDs in a circle might work better. Can anyone here point me in the right direction to find the devices needed for this? Thanks, Eric


How about a gray code encoder ?
