| Sponsor funding note: |
Only 2 of the 3 projects submitted by this sponsor will be allowed to be populated. |
| ITAR Restriction: |
No |
| Scope of work: |
Prepare an optical encoder device and circuit, including circuit board (if possible), that converts a rotary position sensor's output to a discrete "open" and "closed" limit switch outputs and analog (12-bit resolution minimum) and digital outputs representative of shaft rotation. The rotary position sensor must be tested to work at hot/cold temperatures, and high/low pressures. |
