A while back we featured a magnetic rotary encoder that [LongHairedHacker] designed. The heart of the system is an AS5043 magnetic rotary sensor which runs from $6.5-$11 and has a 10 bits precision.

Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices used for sensing in myriad applications—on motors paired with drives and automated machinery for everything from consumer electronics, elevators, and ...

As you may recall, I am a man who wears many hats. For example, one of my roles is Chief Technical Officer (CTO) at LogiSwitch, where our mission is to debounce the signals coming from ...

Experimenting with an HF oscillator, I needed to control the varactor diode voltage in precise increments over a 2V-10V range. A buffered potentiometer was the obvious choice, and connecting two pots ...

Encoders are critical to the production of advanced electronics, one of the fastest growing and advancing industries in the world. Rotary, angle and linear encoders are all used in one form or another ...

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 ...

From robotics and medical devices to green energy and automation, RLS magnetic encoders deliver precise motion control across countless industries. Our rotary encoders achieve accuracies down to ±44 ...

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 ...

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 ...

All engineers know how to use their digital oscilloscope to automatically measure basic parameters such as peak-to-peak voltage, rise time, or frequency on waveforms with a few button presses. Some ...
