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 ...

FLUX, a high-precision encoder company, has released a new whitepaper that examines the benefits of FLUX inductive technology in enabling next-generation performance across robotics, medical, ...

Rotary encoders are electromechanical transducers that convert angular displacement into corresponding electrical signals interpretable by digital systems. This article specifically focuses on panel ...

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 ...

POSITAL's measuring wheels and accessories leverage the company’s IXARC encoders to measure linear motion in conveyor systems, the manufacture of rolled or roll-to-roll products, and similar ...

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 ...
