Below is an example of one of the 57 youtube videos linked within the book.  The links work best if the book is downloaded as a PDF and then opened from your laptop, tablet, phone or other device.

Below is a YouTube demo of a single axis string encoder assembled by Jimmy.  These are quadrature encoders that encode forward and backward, normal and inverse, like any other quadrature encoder.
