Re: [UtVgG] Smart hardware guys, check my logic please.

will work with the 74LS244 above, but their encoder is $50, while Mousers is $17. I can’t see a difference between the 2, but please reference my earlier “No Clue” statement and you can see the state I am in.

So, do you guys think this will work? Or do I need something fancier?

I would use a ADC0809 and a pot, which I believe is how Lunar Lander did it. I don't see this encoding working without some sort of counter. -Chrs
