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 ...

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

From 2025 to 2035, the optical encoder market will continuously grow as industrial automation systems seek motion control technologies with highly tuned accuracy. The industry size is expected to grow ...

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 5 decoders with a switch can be read over I2C. The PCF interrupt line can be used to detect changes ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

Accurate measurement of rotary shaft motion, including position, velocity, and acceleration, is crucial in numerous applications. This is typically achieved by incorporating a rotary encoder into the ...
