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 ...

“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 ...

This project demonstrates how to control a linear CNC stage using an Arduino, a TMC2209 stepper motor driver, and a Mitutoyo LGS-1012P linear encoder. The system employs a PID control loop to ...

Warning: This library is not tested with hardware yet. So use with care, feedback welcome. ECRFS is a library for the ERCF 1 05SPI 360 Z rotation encoder. This devices decodes 360.0° in 16384 steps ...

⇒ UART Configuration : One of the most powerful aspects of the TMC2209 is its single-wire UART interface. With UART, you can configure motor current, microstepping resolution, operating modes, and ...

There’s something to be said for the feel of controls. Whether it’s the satisfying snap of a high-quality switch or the buttery touch of the pots on an expensive amplifier, the tactile experience of ...

Today, we are going to investigate the TMC2208 stepper motor driver, a commonly used driver module that performs well with 2-phase bipolar stepper motors. The TMC2208 module is manufactured by ...

All Thomson stepper motor linear actuators are now available with encoding for positional feedback. Jan. 9, 2024 - Thomson Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, ...

Jan. 9, 2024 - Thomson Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has announced the availability of a rotating-nut stepper motor linear actuator (SMLA) with a rotary ...

I want to write about something a little different this time. I removed the mechanical scroll wheel rotary encoder from a discarded optical mouse and used it in a little project. I really liked the ...
