“I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of them met my needs, so I have written my own, and here it is”. Well, I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of ...

The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos from ...

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 ...

It isn’t hard to imagine a scenario where you are stuck at home all day with nothing to do and certain items are in short supply. Sure, bathroom tissue gets all the press, but try buying some flour or ...

Is your motor spinning at the intended rate? Closed-loop motor control systems continue to answer this question, as there tends to be a closed-loop system implemented wherever a motor spins. Whether ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

As previously mentioned, the feedback sensors include position sensors to track the rotor’s location, current sensors to measure the motor phase currents, voltage sensors to monitor the DC bus voltage ...

The SKM 36 SinCos Motor Feedback System is a multi-turn rotary encoder that tracks absolute position over 4,096 turns. The SKM 36 features a minimum number of components to allow miniature and ...
