When you think about highly-precise actuators, stepper motors probably aren’t the first device that comes to mind. However, as [Diffraction Limited]’s sub-micron capable micro-manipulator shows, they ...

Sometimes it’s necessary to make do with whatever parts one has on hand, but the results of squashing a square peg into a round hole are not always as elegant as [Juan Gg]’s programmable DC load with ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Abstract: This paper presents a precision capacitive rotary encoder that integrates a shared charge amplifier, and a multi-stage offset calibration scheme. Recently, capacitive encoders have gained ...

Abstract: This article introduces an inexpensive Wiegand-sensor-based rotary encoder that avoids rotating magnets and is suitable for electrical-drive applications. So far, Wiegand-sensor-based ...

Note: This is a temporary version of this library, posted here to help finish another project. It will be updated and finished accordingly. Soldered invests vast amounts of time into hardware & ...

This repository provides comprehensive information about the Waveshare Stepper Motor Hat, designed for the Raspberry Pi. It facilitates the control of two stepper motors. Power Supply: A 12V, 4A power ...

For over a century, the formula for rotary motion in food manufacturing has been the same: pick a motor from a catalog, add a gearbox to get the speed you need, stack safety factors, and move on. It ...
