Rotary encoders are electromechanical transducers that convert angular displacement into corresponding electrical signals ...

Texas Instruments (TI) has launched the F28E12x series of ultra-low-cost C2000 real-time MCUs for motor control based on a ...

If you want a simple and easy introduction to stepper motors, check out the [IMSAI Guy]’s short video where he designs a very basic stepper motor controller and packs in a lot of quick lessons along ...

FLUX has released a new whitepaper that examines the benefits of FLUX inductive technology in enabling next-generation ...

The MT6701 library provides a simple and effective way to interface with the MT6701 magnetic rotary encoder using ESP32. It supports reading angular positions in radians and degrees, calculating ...

What does one do with old circuit boards and projects? Throwing them out doesn’t feel right, but storage space is at a premium for most of us. [Gregory Charvat] suggests doing what he did: combining ...

Abstract: In this study, we propose a modified model predictive control (MMPC) approach combined with an adaptive second-order disturbance observer (ASDO) for efficient speed control of permanent ...

Abstract: The finite-control-set model predictive control (FCS-MPC) is a promising control method for permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) drives. However, its discrete nature poses problems in ...

This is a modification of the popular AccelStepper library that runs the motors using timer interrupts instead of polling them in the main loop. This allows for more precise step timings and running ...
