Tool/software:
I have many manual gauges that control the position of a setpoint/setting in mm or in. I want to be able to convert those manual gauges into digital data so that I can know what are the settings being changed to. These manual gauges vary slightly in size but I wan to know what recommendation or application is out there relating potentiometers or rotary encoders to be able to convert the analog gauges into data I can acquire. I also have manual sliders which would want to get dat from. What would the overall structure of the process look like?
