I love the design direction. Exploring feedback..
It seems like the linear range in these designs is spread out enough that something like a linear potentiometer bearing could be useful for some applications, using multiple cheaper limited range pots?
If the spring was magnetized, could you measure its compression?
Or a spring pot toolhead for detecting true-Z-zero throughout the range of motion? One of your three default heads ;) -- [www.vexforum.com]
