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 ...
“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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
