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 ...

FLUX, a high-precision encoder company, has released a new whitepaper that examines the benefits of FLUX inductive technology in enabling next-generation performance across robotics, medical, ...

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

Paul and David Bradt’s Ardiono Projects offers multiple ways to use Arduino and Raspberry Pi microcontrollers for your model railroading projects. Buy the book here. Code for Button/Blink Test (SN095) ...

Abstract: This article introduces a low-power spintronic rotary encoder capable of 8-bit analog-to-digital conversion. The proposed encoder leverages spin-Hall effect-driven domain wall motion ...

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 ...

The EncoderTool is a library to manage and read out rotary encoders connected either directly or via multiplexers to ARM based boards. Encoder push buttons are supported. Callback functions can be ...

If you're into robotics or electronics, you've likely come across Arduino—a small microcontroller that can control sensors and motors for nifty DIY projects. Like the Raspberry Pi, the Arduino is ...
