As you may have noticed, I’ve been working with an STM32 ARM CPU using Mbed. There was a time when Mbed was pretty simple, but a lot has changed since it has morphed into Mbed OS. Unfortunately, that ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

Every encoder-based motion-control axis, such as a servo motor or step motor, must know where it is to be accurate. If it doesn’t, it will never reach its target position. But the encoder must first ...

Engineers use rotary encoders to measure the angular position of an attached device, such as a motor shaft, or to measure distance indirectly when used with a linear belt drive, for example. Rotary ...

Sponsored by Encoder Products Company, Harmonic Drive LLC, maxon, Performance Motion Devices Encoders convert motion to an electrical signal that can be read by some type of control device in a motion ...

Quadrature encoders have many uses in position-sensing applications. This implementation uses a Xilinx complex programmable logic device (CPLD) to count the pulses from the encoder and determine the ...

If you've ever done any livestreaming on the internet, then you already know that one of the most important technical aspects of doing so is properly configuring your stream settings. Your selection ...

To attain accurate positioning, a servo system requires a feedback signal to close its feedback loop. Instruments that typically supply the feedback signal include optical encoders, resolvers, and ...
