Andreas,
Sorry to hear about your HS-10 problem.
However, I was also interested in your VBB project. Had you ever
considered using a feedback system to stabilize the mass position? It's
not a trivial undertaking, but once working, it might help a lot.
Where can I see a description of the Blumelein Bridge? Capacitive sensors
have always seemed like a good approach to me, and I'm interested in
learning about as many designs as I can.
Good luck with your project.
Brett
