I'm planning on ordering a few Panasonic encoders from Digikey.
They offer 15 pulses per revolution and cost $2.97 each.

Does anyone have any experience with these?  The "cheapest" 
Bournes encoders have only 6 pulses per revolution.

I know there are many models, but these are less than $3.00.

While I'm "chattering," has anyone ever thought of building a
non-linear voltage converter module.  A simple version would 
act alot like a log / linear / exponential converter.  
A complicated version would act like y=x^2 or some other
wierdness (a higher order function).  I know that an EPROM 
would do this, or a microprocessor computing Y for a given 
X voltage.  Am I just crazy?  :)
