Medium/Large Slider Or Wheel
Figure 5-3.
In the context of this document, a medium/large slider is between 26 and 60 mm long and a
medium/large wheel is between 20 and 60 mm diameter.
A medium/large slider or wheel uses toothed electrodes (see

along the longitudinal axis of a slider or the radial axis of a wheel). Some transverse variation of the
reported position is inevitable
Note that there are some alternative methods of construction that are very similar to the method shown
here, but with some subtle changes in segment lengths and tooth gapping. These methods are normally
an attempt to optimize the intrinsic linearity of the slider or wheel. However, it is often more practical to
perform this linearization in software rather than trying many iterations of the electrode pattern during
development

of the resolution achievable.
