This project is a DIY simple optical rotary encoder with 180 points per rotation and bi directional detection that you can make at home with a 3D printer. This Arduino Rotary Encoder is intended to ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

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 ...

The REBL_UI offers a simple way to build a user interface with a Rotary Encoder, a Button, and an LCD. Currently it is set up for 16x2 LCD, but could easily be changed to whatever. It includes a very ...

Every engineer and hobbyist nowadays has a workbench for all of their tools and gadgets, and if you're a 3D printing enthusiast, you've probably used the vernier calliper a lot. This emphasizes the ...

It isn’t hard to imagine a scenario where you are stuck at home all day with nothing to do and certain items are in short supply. Sure, bathroom tissue gets all the press, but try buying some flour or ...

From a simple electronic toothbrush to complicated robotics systems, DC motors are present everywhere. In most of our previous Arduino projects, we have used these DC motors as actuators and ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...
