Reverse engineering a servo motor

-

i've got servo motor took off old printer , i've hit wall on figuring out 3 brown wires in picture do. i've got kind of optical rotation sensor on back, wire emitter, sensor(s)?

i've tried measuring resistance of each of 3 wires black or white, each of other brown wires.... nothing.

i tried manually spinning motor , having each of brown wires hooked analog inputs... still nothing.

i'm hoping community can recommend how can figure out 3 brown wires do.

i'll mention i'm pretty new things arduino , electrical stuff isn't forte, that's why i'm trying in first place.  :)

that brushed d.c. motor optical shaft encoder.

the encoder has 1 or more leds , phototransistors, take fair bit of knowledge semiconductor electronics figure out connections , how use them.

unfortunately such circuits can rather destroyed applying power, if polarity wrong. if want use motor/encoder, better off buying 1 documentation.

salve, prima di installare joomla, vorrei porvi tre semplici domande: 1) l'ultima versione in italiano di joomla, supporta questo template prodotto da gavik? loro scrivono che non è un semplice template, ma una vera e propria suite, ma vorrei una vostra opinione. qui sono descritte le funzioni della suite. 2) per sfruttare gli elementi che si vedono nella pagina, ad esempio quello in alto sinistra dove scorrono le notizie, occorre installare qualche componente aggiuntivo? 3) futuri upgrade alla piattaforma joomla, potranno inficiare il funzionamento o la compatibilità del template? vi ringrazio anticipatamente della disponibilità. 1) non vedo nulla di particolare se non una miriade di posizioni per blocchi 2) è un modulo se non sbaglio pagamento, ma adesso non ricordo bene 3) no. ti ricordo che devi installare joomla  1.0.12 Board index Joomla!

SD Datastring Convention

i wondering if there preferred convention appending data logged?  see standard sd example uses: code: [select] void loop() {   // make string assembling data log:   string datastring = "";   // read 3 sensors , append string:   (int analogpin = 0; analogpin < 3; analogpin++) {     int sensor = analogread(analogpin);     datastring += string(sensor);     if (analogpin < 2) {       datastring += ",";     }   } creating string called datastring, , appending it, have seen in forums string not liked.  around this, code data logging looks this: code: [select] void sdupdate() {   datetime = rtc.now();   unsigned int hour = now.hour();   unsigned int minute = now.minute();   unsigned int second = now.second();   char datastring[100] = "";   char char_current_pay[15] = "";   char char_overall_pay[15] = ""; ...

linux raspberrypi 4.9.56-v7+ #1044 smp fri oct 13 15:23:13 bst 2017 armv7l gnu/linux fmpeg version 3.2.5-1 when try use h264_omx encoder [h264_omx @ 0x4eb940] libomx_core.so not found [h264_omx @ 0x4eb940] libomxcore.so not found tried apt-file find 2 files don't seem part of package?! where/how should find them? in advance! after research learned omx layer in raspbian handled libomxil-bellagio library. fact ffmpeg apparently expecting different library suggest there's wrong raspbian ffmpeg package? anyway, recompiled ffmpeg myself , got h264_omx encoder work. raspberrypi
