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
