I have just received to my e-mail this new and very improved servo controller:
You can find product details at: http://www.01mech.com/supermodified
I copy the following from the site:
| Attribute | Benefit |
| PID Speed / Position control | Accurately adjust your servo’s rotation speed according to your project’s needs |
| Profiled position/speed control | No more jerky motions on your robots, only smooth transitions from one setpoint to thenext |
| Velocity feedback | Feedback on the exact speed of your motor – produce more efficient algorithms and better overall robotbehaviour |
| Incremental position feedback | Feedback based on a 0.08° increments! Store your position in EPROM and recover it afterRESET |
| Absolute position feedback | Know your robot’s joint positions straight after controller initialisation. Store your position in EPROMand recover it after RESET |
| Additional I/Os | Use your Supermodified to also control other devices with 4 available GPIOs onthe Supermodified™ MCU board |
| Additional analog inputs | Get feedback from analog sensors with 4 analog inputs on the Supermodified™ MCU board |
| Ambient temperature measurement | Avoid overheating the ‘guts’ of the servo by knowing ambient air temperature |
| Current feedback | Avoid excessive stresses and easily calculate torque-demand on your servomotor during operation by knowingthe motor’s current consumption |
| Bus interfaces (I2C, RS485) | Everything is on the comms bus! Up to 127 (wt. I2C, TWI interface), 248 (wt. RS485interface) Supermodified™ nodes can be controlled by a single host |
| Form Factor | Control electronics, absolute feedback element, motor drive electronics, motor and gearbox now fitinside a servo. No more messy boards and wires |

This is not just a magntometer and a magnet. It has quadrature output like an encoder. Must be a magnetic encoder :)) Cool.
