Number of counts (pulses) per full revolution of the encoder knob. Each count corresponds to a small increment of rotation. Which direction is the wheel turning? A positive positionChange indicates ...

Firmware for Arduino DRO with up to 4 Axis display, Tachometer, Touch Probe, and Bluetooth output suitable for Touch DRO. I just couldn't find the one I was looking for. RysiuM's is great for working ...

“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 ...

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 ...

“Measure twice, cut once” is great advice in every aspect of fabrication, but perhaps nowhere is it more important than when building a CNC machine. When precision is the name of the game, you need ...

With a robust 1-Vp-p interface, the LS 688C linear encoder has a scanning carriage that rides on ball bearings, resulting in strong rigidity in the measuring direction, as well as backlash and ...

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 ...
