RE: Re[2]: Fw: Relaunch of Autoglide by Silent Gliss

The Drapeboss uses a stepper motor and knows its position. When you
program the stop points it remembers the number of steps between them.

Sadly though they seem to have been discontinued.

The Swish (and I assume the Silent Gliss) motors support discrete open
and discrete close as well as toggle lines ... In fact the original (and
cheaper) K400 motors are better to automate than the K600 ones!

How do you get the stop points programmed accurately for screen masking
applications Tim? I reckon you need to be accurate to about 1/4 of an
inch at worst and for that kind of accuracy timing is usually no use.
