Thanks to 20-100 and Electroken for responding. I left out the DC killing the sensor part in my posts just to make sure that the person responding knew what the hell they were talking about. I looked into the ADXL202E, but it seemed to me that it was actually an accelerometer and could have problems centering properly if started while on an incline. I may be wrong, but I couldn't get anybody where they were sold to state emphaticaly that this wouldn't be a problem. I'll be happy with a +-2 degree solution, so it doesn't seem like that hard of a sensor to get usable results for me. If it's too complicated to do it myself, I can always purchase their solution for $100. I was trying to keep the project under $100 total. I'll still have to build a serial adapter and buy a serial to usb adapter as well. I'm easily looking at $150 if I go with their solution. There is a downloadable data sheet at the Fredericks Sensors site I posted above, with test circuits and some information that may be helpful in building a reasonable circuit. Electroken, you are the shiznit when it comes to electrical questions here, so if you say scrap it and go with the ADXL202E, I probably will. Let me know what you think. I am probably getting too high tech anyway. What do you think about the gutless servo with just the pot and gears to damp movement?
