Hi All ,
i'm building a robot nowadays , but i have a slight problem and need to share it here with you ,
i have a disk with a diameter of 160mm, this disk will rotates and have 10 stations to stop at ,
my problem is :
i'm going to use a stepper motor to rotate this disk , i'm not sure how can i adjust the disk to stop at specifc locations , will i use an encoder ?
or can i calculate the number of turns of the stepper and then send a speifec number of pulses in order to move the disk to a the new location ,
here is a photo for the disk .
Thank you
