No office space is complete without some eye-catching art piece to gawp at whilst you mull over your latest problem. But LED-based displays are common enough to be boring these days. Kinetic art ...

When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

This library uses a PCF8575 to read the pulses of a rotary encoder. As a PCF8575 has 16 lines up to 5 decoders with a switch can be read over I2C. The PCF interrupt line can be used to detect changes ...

Abstract: This paper presents a precision capacitive rotary encoder that integrates a shared charge amplifier, and a multi-stage offset calibration scheme. Recently, capacitive encoders have gained ...

Abstract: This article introduces an inexpensive Wiegand-sensor-based rotary encoder that avoids rotating magnets and is suitable for electrical-drive applications. So far, Wiegand-sensor-based ...

This repository provides comprehensive information about the Waveshare Stepper Motor Hat, designed for the Raspberry Pi. It facilitates the control of two stepper motors. Power Supply: A 12V, 4A power ...

For over a century, the formula for rotary motion in food manufacturing has been the same: pick a motor from a catalog, add a gearbox to get the speed you need, stack safety factors, and move on. It ...
