That's disappointing but I'm still going to get a second opinion from
a local industrial electronics company who said positioning AC motors
is their main business. If their idea is useful I'll post it.

Well, that's my business but I'm mainly working on a hydraulic system
which has been on hold due to electronics. I tried for over a year
to learn and do the PID - S curve electronics myself but failed and
have hired a Russian to do it but delays still happen so I noticed an
AC gearmotor I bought new for $20 that I hope(d) to put to work.

I like many others I suppose am in need of a profitable enterprise
that can lift me out of failure into success so I can afford a family
and other normal things. Unlike others, I understand the Bible
better than most pastors but can't get published because I'm
controversial. I wrote about 870 ministers of the church of Scotland
and got only one positive reply. Some research & opinions posted on
