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 ...

I have to thank one author of a rotary encoder decoder (Ben Buxton). While his code seemed overly complex to my untutored eye, for example creating a new data type, it did show Arduino-novice ...

Now that your rotary encoder hardware is up and running it’s time to tell your Arduino what to do with the encoder signals. There are the two basic ways to read a microcontroller’s digital input. With ...

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 ...

knows this, and rather than put up with the bump and grind of a cheap rotary encoder ... Hooked to an Arduino, the motor made a workable encoder, later improved by sending each phase through ...

Relative and Absolute are two primary types of rotary encoders. A quadrature encoder is in the relative encoder family and is most commonly used in high-speed motor control systems; it also ...

Makers, developers and Arduino ... your stepper motor applications extremely compact ! – Make sure that you never miss a step again, thanks to the on-board encoder and control algorithm ...

The encoder delivers data for display or data that may serve as feedback in a motor-control system ... There are linear encoders and rotary encoders, but this article focuses on rotary encoders ...

Adafruit has made an I2C interface for four rotary encoders. It comes in the form of a PCB with ... time over I 2 C,” according to the company. “You can use our Arduino library to control and read ...
