[amsat-bb] Re: Making your own rotator controller

[Henk, PA3GUO]

To better phrase this:

Most likely while the rotor is moving you are sampling the
position to find out if it's already time to stop.

For the CPU (PIC or ST6) the AD conversion takes time,
and also for the SW then to take a decision. All this
results in a delayed 'knowing that the rotor is there'.
This gives overshoot in position (a delayed stop, not so
much due to the mechanics but due to the ADC & SW).
