A rotary encoder is a type of electromechanical position sensor that can be used to identify the angular position of the rotary shaft. This type of sensor or module generates an electrical signal ...

Stepper motors use a cogged wheel and electromagnets to rotate the wheel one ‘step’ at a time. Each HIGH pulse sent to the A4988 stepper driver energises the coil, attracting the teeth closest to the ...

You can create a release to package software, along with release notes and links to binary files, for other people to use. Learn more about releases in our docs.

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

The other day we had a big problem. The Saddle feeder's speed control was done by a hydraulic device which consists of a wheel having a complete 360 degree rotation representing from zero speed to ...

“I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of them met my needs, so I have written my own, and here it is”. Well, I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of ...
