I want to measure the position of my rotary platform accurately. I am not interested in its speed but only its position with my reference (0 degree) point while I move my platform onwards and backwards by a step motor. I checked the internet and find that a rotary encoder would be very helpful for this job. However; I dont have any background about encoders or how to take feedback from them. It is very important to me to know my reference points position accurately.Having an error of 0.5 or so would be enough.
The encoders I looked up till now are all seemed like industrial type. Thus I dont know if I could buy one for myself inexpensively. If you have any background about this issue could you help me?
Thanks for your care..
