Polar Rotors and Servo Controllers 101

[Anole]

Since this thread petered out in 2008, there has been progress on the project.
Couple of members have posted other threads, complete with programming and PC board layouts.
So, I'm not sure about dredging up this one....?

Normally, I'd provide links to the more recent material, but I'm not following it.
Have given up on polarotors, and really don't care any more.
So, I'll leave searching as an exercise for the reader.

(... and maybe suggest this thread be closed...?...at the discretion of the moderator.)

Been working on my own simple PIC polarotor servo control interface. If it pans out in my own real world testing, I'll post the schematic and code here.
It has a LCD display showing present sensed polarity and it's skew angle. A rotary encoder lets you dial that 90 degrees on each polarity with power on default of 45.
