try doing some research on frequency to voltage converters. I think it is possible

Basically, you can use your hall sensors to generate a frequency of a spining disc. Feed this into the frequency to voltage converter calibrated with a range from 0-5 volts and then just feed it into the analog ...

Question about the max1249

hhmm, so I'm having a little trouble understanding how this circuit works.

from what I see on the a10-8 joyworrior, there is a 10ohm resistor and a 10.1 uFarad capacitor, which I assume is a lowpass filter?

I also see the same setup connected to the REFADJ.

Now according to the datasheets, the ...

connecting optical encoder to a10-16

I want to substitue pots with optical encoders, or atleast for now, with something that spits out pulses instead of variable voltage.

So I guess this means I wouldn't need the A/D maxim chip that connects to the joy worrior chip.

Question is, how would I connect an optical encoder to the chip?
