Is a stepper motor the most accurate way of turning an object a predetermined angle?

Hi guys,
I am starting a project in which I need to rotate a small object (about the size of a calculator), on a stage, in increments of ~2-5 degrees a number of times.
I have used LabView software previously and it seems the right choice to carry out this part of the project.
Would a stepper motor be the most accurate option for this? What are the other options?
Apologies if I have posted this on the wrong 'board',
Thanks!

A stepper motor is probably the way you will have to go if you need to continously rotate the object without returning to an origin position. Like if you need to step it 2 degrees clockwise a thousand times, you need to use a stepper motor. A regular motor with an encoder can be used but you wont have the precise control you are probably looking for. This where a pulsed width modulated motor control unit is typically put into the system. I believe NI has some modules that do this but I have never used them.

What is the most efficient way to turn an array of 16 bit unsigned integers into an ASCII string such that...?

What is the most efficient way to turn a one dimensional array of 16 bit unsigned integers into an ASCII string such that the low byte of the integer is first, then the high byte, then two bytes of hex "00" (that is to say, two null characters in a row)?
My method seems somewhat ad hoc. I take the number, split it, then interleave it with 2 arrays of 4095 bytes. Easy enough, but it depends on all of these files being exactly 16380 bytes, which theoretically they should be.
The size of the array is known. However, if it were not, what would be the best method?
(And yes, I am trying to read in a file format from another program)

My method:

Hi, I have an iphone 4 and recently few alphabets on keypad have stopped working.I figured via apple communitythat i need to calibrate it.Which i tried to do but couldnt.What is the most accurate way to calibrate Iphone 4 ?

Hi fellow applers!
what is the accurate process of Iphone 4 calibration because few important alphabets
and numbers in my phone keypad dont work anymore and i read so many ways to calibrate including "erase all settings and contents"
or
'reset' by phone which i tried but hasnt worked.
Ive been told that sometimes if calibration doesnt help set things right then we have to
remove the iphone's upper case and set the digitizer underneath or something like that?
is it true? how do we do it?

today i took it to istyle and tried a new baterry but they said that it didnt turn on
but i bought a new original usb cable the before cable which i used was a cheap usb it can connect many phones
the story is that when i connect the iphone to the computer with the cheap cable it gives a sound of connection
but when i connect it with the original usb cable no connection happened

What is the most reliable way to run one Windows accounting program in Osx 10.5.8?

I have a simple Windows application where I basically do my accounts. I do not want to tie up my Imacs resources with running a full Windows Os "emulation" like Paralells or VMware Fusion just to run a simple accounting program.
I have heard about apps that can run one windows application at the time through a kind of Osx Application which emulates windows some how. Is is true that this is a better way of running my accounting program? Is it reliable? What I do is to punch in invoices and print out reports basically. How much resources does this "consume" to run it in "one simple application mode" in comparison with for example Paralells?
And what is the term for running windows in "one simple application mode"?

I guess you could try the free trial of CrossOver. http://www.codeweavers.com/products/crossover/ You did not say what app you want to run so it is difficult for us to recommend crossover as being able to run the app.
But your question is that you are looking for the "most reliable" way to run a Windows program. In my opinion you need Parallels or Fusion. These run the real Windows OS so my thinking is it is the "most reliable" method of running a Windows app on an Apple computer, other than Boot Camp.
But you said you don't want Parallels. This is probably why you have not received any responses. You eliminated the most reliable and easiest method, in my opinion, when you initially posted. Parallels does not consume any resources until you start it up to use your app. You can close it after you are done with your app. Of course hard drive space is required for storing the OS, your app, and data. But you still need to store your app and data regardless of method you choose.
One more thing, Parallels and Fusion create a virtual machine for running Windows.
So my recommendation, use Parallels or Fusion.

Hey. anyone knows how to synchronize the different sounds in a song the most easy way?

hey. anyone knows how to synchronize the different sounds in a song the most easy way?

Play better... just kidding. Set an appropriate quantize value for all the regions in the inspector window. If you are doing live playing and need to synch to that it is MUCH more complicated. If you're new at this it might actually be easier to re-play it.

To recover the photos from an iPod Classic you'll need to use third-party software and the photos gained will be quite low resolution.

The most efficient way to search a large String

Hi All,
2 Quick Questions
QUESTION 1:
I have about 50 String keywords -- I would like to use to search a big String object (between 300-3000 characters)
Is the most efficient way to search it for my keywords like this ?
if(myBigString.indexOf("string1")!=1 || myBigString.indexOf("string2")!=1 || myBigString.indexOf("string1")!=1 and so on for 50 strings.)
System.out.println("it was found");
QUESTION 2:
Can someone help me out with a regular expression search of phone number in the format NNN-NNN-NNNN
I would like it to return all instances of that pattern found on the page .
I have done regular expressions, in javascript in vbscript but I have never done regular expressions in java.
Thanks

Answer 2:
If you have the option of using Java 1.4, have a look at the new regular expressions library... whose package name I forget :-/ There have been articles published on it, both at JavaWorld and IBM's developerWorks.
If you can't use Java 1.4, have a look at the jakarta regular expression projects, of which I think there are two (ORO and Perl-like, off the top of my head)
http://jakarta.apache.org/
Answer 1:
If you have n search terms, and are searching through a string of length l (the haystack, as in looking for a needle in a haystack), then searching for each term in turn will take time O(n*l). In particular, it will take longer the more terms you add (in a linear fashion, assuming the haystack stays the same length)
If this is sufficient, then do it! The simplest solution is (almost) always the easiest to maintain.
An alternative is to create a finite state machine that defines the search terms (Or multiple parallel finite state machines would probably be easier). You can then loop over the haystack string a single time to find every search term at once. Such an algorithm will take O(n*k) time to construct the finite state information (given an average search term length of k), and then O(l) for the search. For a large number of search terms, or a very large search string, this method will be faster than the naive method.
One example of a state-search for strings is the Boyer-Moore algorithm.

How to bild a graphical wizard in the most proper way?

In some applications there are wizards for creating different things. How are the graphical wizards constructed?
Let´s say there is a two-step way for creating a Person object. In the first step, you have to add some personal information. Then you click on the Next button to get to step 2. If you move the window of step 1 to a another location on the screen and then press the Next button to get to the step 2, then the step 2 window appears at the location of the step 1 window.
Is the most common way to build such a wizard to create JDialogs where the last dialog gets the location coordinats of the previous JDialog?

How are the graphical wizards constructed? a frame/dialog containing a cardlayout JPanel (at BorderLayout.CENTER)
the cardLayout panel contains:
1) a JPanel for 'step1'
2) a JPanel for 'step2'
3) a JPanel for 'step3' (if required)
etc.
next/prev buttons are added to the frame/dialog's BorderLayout.SOUTH,
and are disabled if/when there is no next or previous screen

What is the most effective way to write Statement to catch and reverse errors during query excution?

Hello my friends:
I am wondering what is the most effective way to deal with errors, specifically in a
Stored Procedure.
I wrote something like this:
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION
/*My statements goes in here*/
IF ERROR_NUMBER() = 0 -- Do I need this line?
COMMIT TRANSACTION;
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
IF ERROR_NUMBER() > 0 --Do I need this line?
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION;
END CATCH;
It would make sense using the if Statement when attempting to log errors.
Just too many variations.
Thanks

What is the most efficent way to create both a standard and HD DVD

Hi,
I'm just getting into HD video editing, and I have relatives who will be several years behind me. I will be making HD DVD's for myself to use, but I will also need to make standard DVD's to send to my relatives.I am assuming that the HD DVD's I create will not play in a standard DVD player. I may be wrong. However, If this is correct, is there a particular point in the process of working with Encore where I can make that choice, create the DVD, and then go back and alter it in order to create the other type without destroying and having to redo everything that was done up to that point?

Thank you Hunt. Being ahead of most of the rest of the world and getting the best technology out there can be a pain sometimes. Reading through Jon Geddes' article left me scratching my head several times, and some of it went way over my head, but I'll keep at it, until it sinks in. Some language, terms, and shorthand, I'm sure are simple to understand to a lot of people, but I'm not in that catagory. I'll just keep working at it.

I would edit the Project in HD in PrPro. The BD authoring part will be straight workflow.
For the SD DVD-Video, you have a few choices. You can Export to DV-AVI Type II for Import into a new Encore Project for the DVD. Some feel that PrPro does not do a good job at down-rezing from HD to SD. For a workflow that will likely yield better quality, see this http://www.precomposed.com/blog/2009/07/hd-to-sd-dvd-best-methods/. If you have PrPro/Encore CS4, then Jeff Bellune's /thread/487134?tstart=0 might be useful to you. Just follow the links to the tutorial.
Good luck,

The most effective way from varchar2 to CLOB?

this is my table's TAB structure on Oracle 10g r2:
TAB_ID (PK),
TAB2_ID (FK constraint to TAB2(TAB2_ID), index created),
TEXT varchar2(4000)
What is the most effective way to convert varchar2(4000) column to CLOB column?
1. create new table TAB_NEW with column TEXT as CLOB,
then insert /*+ APPEND */ into TAB_NEW SELECT * FROM TAB,
then rename table TAB to TAB_OLD,
then drop constraint and indexes
then rename TAB_new to TAB
then add constraints primary key and foreign key,
then add index on TAB2_ID
then drop table TAB_OLD
OR
2. rename column TEXT(varchar2) to TEXT_OLD
then add column TEXT(type CLOB)
then update(how the most effective?) TAB set TEXT=TEXT_OLD
drop column TEXT_OLD.

1 will work, as you can assign a VARCHAR2 to a CLOB and Oracle will convert it.
2 is redundant.

The most compatible way of offering short movies on a website?

Hi everyone,
I am working on a website which offers links to short movies
which the admin has uploaded. they are in mwv/mpg/avi format. I am
using this object method, I can see them on my systems, but the
client cannot make it to work on their systems. I am looking for
the most compatible way of linking and displaying short movies on
the site. work with PC and mac.
this is my current method that apparently is not fully
compatible:
<cfoutput><embed src="Media/#MediaParam#"
width="408" height="354" autostart="1"
showstatusbar=1></embed></cfoutput>
any help is appreciated in advance..

can the data go from the drive direct to the ATV2?
no.
iTunes must be running to fetch and serve the content to ATV.
I ask as its far easier to connect a ATV2 and a Network drive via cat5, however itd be nice to not have to plug a mac in as well.
if your wireless network is n-capable and doesn't suffer interference problems, that scenario might work.
Possible try to get a older ATV?
good luck with that they are hard to come by. try eBay or something.

How do you reset data on iCloud? My first device that moved to iCloud is not the most accurate. The only option iCloud gives is to merge. I want to erase and reset up with my laptop to iCloud then add my other devices? Any help?

My first device that I moved to the cloud was not the most accurate. I want to erase what is on the iCloud and reset with my laptop first and then my other devices. Any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
Before you start, I'd export the data from the notebook to your desktop as a back up.
Turn syncing off, if it isn't already, on the notebook (system preferences > iCloud), delete the data from the first device, turn on syncing on the notebook and merge.
