Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: Goldmine servos and Sherline

I believe I remember seeing the documentation at some point indicating
these servos are 500 count per revolution. That is why I went with the
"cheaper" 3.95 units for the encoders with 1000 count per rev. I believe
they both use the HP quadrature encoder which has been well discussed in
this group.
