okay, here it is:
This shows where the inline shrinkwrapped resistors were removed from.. Get rid of these, they are complete BS and don't help anything, and, as a matter of fact, tend to muddy the water concerning sensitivity of the encoder..
This shows how your encoder on the car should be routed.. This will allow you to get full sensitivity and travel from your encoder and steering rack...
Also, too, CUT that stupid steering rack so it is STRAIGHT ACROSS to allow FULL RANGE or you won't be happy at all...
This will allow very sharp turning and allow the use of nearly the entire steering travel... This will be improved even more soon, so watch this spot..
This method gave me SEVEN full steps left, and SEVEN full steps right and MUCH tighter steering, more akin to what a REAL cars steering range is....
You will like it believe me.
