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 ...

Abstract: Magnetic encoders are widely used in motor drive systems. The existence of harmonic greatly reduces the accuracy of angle demodulation. Based on the angle tracking algorithm of the dual ...

In a nutshell: Canadian hardware maker Ploopy is now accepting pre-orders for its latest input device. The Ploopy Knob is a 3D-printed, open-source rotary encoder featuring a high-precision sensor ...

AS5600 is a library for an AS5600 / AS5600L based magnetic rotation meter. More exact, it measures the angle (rotation w.r.t. reference) and not RPM. Multiple angle measurements allows one to ...

LIKA offers new robust absolute encoder as single- or multiturn versions. The EXO series encoders are equipped with high accuracy optical sensing technology while EXM series encoders mount a robust ...

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 ...

[Igor] has an AS5600 magnetic rotary encoder chip on a breakout board. Normally, you’d think that was an easy device to work with since it has an I2C interface. But [Igor] wanted to do it the hard way ...

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 ...
