Haven't built one but I've seen Bubba's. (We is sorta nayburs here on the
backwaters of the Chatahoochee, known locally as the Atlanta sewer system.)
It works very well and I would not hesitate to recommend the concept. I
don't recall that the Lindsey software even required a board, just a
parallel port.

Art's wire driven encoders work surprisingly well. Chris Bruno had some
encoders for sale that should work.
