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 ...

As you may have noticed, I’ve been working with an STM32 ARM CPU using Mbed. There was a time when Mbed was pretty simple, but a lot has changed since it has morphed into Mbed OS. Unfortunately, that ...

Optical rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals. There are three basic configurations for optical encoders: incremental, absolute, ...

Building a 3D motor printed motor is one thing, but creating a completely custom servo motor with encoder requires some significant engineering. In the video after the break [365 Robots] takes us ...

The ATOM DX encoder is built on the optical system platform of the market-proven ATOM ™ encoder. It integrates Renishaw's ...

A rugged, self-contained, resolver-based encoder, the Shaft-Tracker from Computer Conversions Corp. can replace less reliable optical shaft encoders. The device provides both incremental and true ...

Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level, or a ...

Artificial crystals of light, consisting of hundreds of thousands of optical microtraps, are routinely created by interfering optical laser beams. These so-called optical lattices act as versatile ...

A full turn around a point equals 360º. If a full turn equals 360º, then the sum of the angles around a point must also be 360º. When you calculate angles around a point, you can use this fact to find ...

A triangle is a polygon. It is a closed 3-sided shape made up of straight lines. The ‘tri-’ part of the word triangle means three. A triangle has 3 sides and 3 angles. Interior angles are the angles ...
