Hello im building a steering wheel·that will control a car via a motor a little bit·like a video game but i need a feedback motor on this steering wheel, ya a servo motor will do just that with the pulse out command on the Bs2, thing is a servo has it's limit on the rotation·and·i don't whant to build a gear box just for that,because a steering wheel of a car has 3 1/2 turn rotation, ·so i would like to use a stepper motor controlled by·the Bs2 with a 10k 10 turn pot a little bit like the servo, in short ·does anyone have a program already written with the schematics for the wiring connection for a stepper motor with a feedback pot.

Sincerely Gil jr.

    Ya know...
    It isn't exactly the answer you are looking for, but I've opened servos and removed/ rewired the pot to a 5K, 10 turn external. For me repeatable positioning wasn't good enough, but its a whole lot easier than building a whole system--gearing and all electronics remain inside a nice, neat, easy to mount box.

    Edited-- motor gearing, not pot position gearing obviously.
