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 ...

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 ...

Optical sensors can provide either digital or analog outputs. With digital outputs, relative position is determined by counting pulses, and pulse width determines the resolution.

Optical encoder-based condition monitoring of the rolling element bearing (REB) is becoming a hot topic, in which the suppression of interference components is essential for the REB fault feature ...

As a high-precision (HP) position sensor, the optical encoder is the core component of modern electromechanical machines. During measurement, it is inevitably influenced by different disturbances, ...

The optical encoder market is poised for substantial growth, projected to surge to an impressive US$ 7,023.5 million, propelled by a robust (CAGR) of 9.7% through the year 2033. This surge in market ...
