Abstract
An actuator system having a controller, a motor, and a feedback device, wherein an output shaft of the motor is connected to the feedback device. The controller directs the application of power to the motor and the feedback device produces a signal indicative of the position of the output shaft. Advantageously, the signal may be read by the controller when the motor is not in motion.
