We’re used to Hall effect devices as proximity sensors in mechanical systems, used to provide detection of something that has a magnet attached to it. However it’s easy to forget that the devices that ...

The project is based around the AS5040 chip that uses a magnet to provide positional feedback information and 10 bits of resolution per rotation. The project is based around the AS5040 chip that uses ...

What is a rotary encoder? A rotary encoder (RT) is a device that you can rotate infinitely. On most rotary encoders, when you rotate them you will feel a bump (known as steps), and most RTs have about ...

Every week I seem to be writing about how someone has used an Arduino to fashion an interesting gadget, and today's – while not as obviously useful as, say a Pong-playing wristwatch - is still ...

“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 ...

[Scott Rumschlag] wanted a way to precisely map interior spaces for remodeling projects, but did not want to deal with the massive datasets created by optical 3D scanning, and found the precision of ...
