Inductosyn DRO was balls

snip Making an Inductosyn seems a LOT simpler, as the geometry is prettyforms the scale, and 2 planar square wave sense windings which have the same wave length as the exciting winding, but they are placed such that there is a 90 degree phase shift between the two windings. These can be made by printed circuit technology. You just hook it all to the 2S90 series of chips. Great tutorial on resolvers @ The cost for commercial 10" inductosyn bars is about $250. Heads another $250. The newall is definately cheaper unles you can make heads and boards yourself. As Jon points out the bar is just a square wave easily milled or etched. The commercial ones seems to have a zillion lines per inch but give you .00001 resolution which I don't need for a router. I wonder how many lines per inch would you need for .0001 and if the evaluation board would drive/read it? I'd be willing to give it a shot if I could get by with a reasonable number of lines per inch and the board has a chance of working. Roger |

The rest is done by interpolation. A printed circuit board maker that can handle a 30" x 1" circuit board could probably make a batch of these for a couple of hundred bucks. I might run a quote to find out what my favorite board house can do. Jon |

From: "Jon Elson" <elson@...> The rest is done by interpolation. A printed circuit board maker that can handle a 30" x 1" circuit board could probably make a batch of these for a couple of hundred bucks. I might run a quote to find out what my favorite board house can do.The pdf reference you posted described the scales as 10" sections with .1", .2" or 2mm pitch. The sections are laid end to end, connected in series and attached to a metal base. Loss of accuracy at the joints is minimized because the receiver averages the signal over several periods. Perhaps the shorter segments would be less expensive to produce and easier to mount. This looks like a great solution for long router tables! Doug |
------- I expect to need a 2-axis resolver to quadratyre board, so I did a bit more checking. The evaluation board price above is quantity 1. Unfortunately the above price for the chip is quantity 100 and is not available for online purchase from Analog Devices WEB site. Pioneer has ad2s90ap in stock with the quantity 1 price as $44.86. You probably want an ad2s99 reference oscillator @$10.73 too, but out of stock. At a guess a 2-axis board with just quadrature output could probably be hand wired for around $125 with all new parts. More thinking is in order; such as serial out to a computer. -- Keith Bowers - Thomasville, NC |

I have looked at these, and someone finally got smart! The cost for a 12 bit board back in 99 was very high. It took 2 8 bit convertor chips, a special chip to add their outputs together, and a high priced osc. The 8 bit chips were on the order of $300.00 each as I remember, and the adder was about the same.------- Bill Higdon |

The cost for a------- along with something like a DS89C420 (33 MHz clock) or maybe the Basic-X stuff to do the arithmetic, but I haven't come up with a simple way to read two signals at the same time since the samples must be perfectly synchronized to the peak of the reference signal. By the time you add a sample and hold chip in front and then read each sample things start to get complicated. A really interesting solution would be the one TI has in a TMS324F240 DSP application note. The approach could be really interesting if it was completed. They don't appear to publish complete code for what they do and do not include quadrature output in the design. The code for one axis, including reference signal generation, used less than 25% of the processor, so it would appear that a 2-axis board might be hand wired for about $50. As usual TI wants a bundle for the associated compiler, but there is a GNU version at the usual price 8o). One would also have to come up with a way to burn the program into a chip. I have never gotten into DSP and would really prefer to make chips with machine tools. The more I write, the better the AD2S90s look <g>. -- Keith Bowers - Thomasville, NC |

several asm, c, and BASIC compilers around, some free. In particular, the AT90S8535 has 8 A/D channels, as well as a serial port and other nifty I/O. Plus they can be programmed in circuit. The Mega line has even more features. www.atmel.com Regards, JJ Be Kind, Be Careful, Be Yourself -----Original Message-----I consider this to be a sister site to the CCED group, as many of the same members are there, for OT subjects, that are not allowed on the CCED list.

In this case we need to measure two signals at exactly the same time which will require either two separate A/Ds per axis or external sample and holds. I was looking at the Dallas chip both because it appears to be fast and also because back when the 8046/8051 family hit the market I did some design with it. I didn't have access to an assembler or development system, so had to make my own and hand assemble the code. I may actually remember something about the code. It's only been 25 years or so <g> -- Keith Bowers - Thomasville, NC |
