Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Kollmorgen Corp., a developer of motion control and automation systems, this week introduced the Smart Feedback Device, Multi-Turn, or SFD-M, encoder. It said the SFD-M allows machine builders to ...

Precision of rotational and linear measurement underpins motion control systems, and optical encoders are a mainstay in delivering this. Converting mechanical motion into digital signals enables ...

This library uses a PCF8575 to read the pulses of a rotary encoder. As a PCF8575 has 16 lines up to 8 decoders can be read over I2C. The PCF interrupt line can be used to detect changes in the ...

In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...

Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the optical rotary encoder, a low-cost, high-resolution, easy-to-use sensor for indicating incremental shaft position (although it can be “upgraded” to indicate absolute ...

How does a Security Council resolution get adopted? The 15-member Council is charged with taking action, through resolutions and decisions, on any threats to international peace and security, but ...

Abstract: A single-chip CMOS magnetic rotary encoder system based on magnetic pattern analysis is presented. Magnetic sensor arrays are integrated with ADCs and DSP ...
