If you’ve ever pulled apart a set of digital calipers, you’ve probably marvelled at the capacitive encoder that does all the measuring work. There’s nothing stopping you from using the same techniques ...

Linear guides support and control precision linear travel on axes in myriad machine and robotics types for modern automation. In linear-motion applications that are especially demanding, linear ...

Arduino has certainly made its mark in the world of DIY electronics, providing an accessible platform for a wide range of creative and interactive projects. Known for its user-friendly hardware and ...

In automation, precision and reliability are no longer optional; they are requirements. For a wide variety of machine types and processes, linear guides provide that accuracy and high-capacity travel.

Linear encoders are often essential. Even where they’re not, benefits they offer can justify the additional cost they incur. Linear encoders bypass the mechanical linkages of rotary-to-linear motion ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

Saw the Youtube video and I had an idea about how I might improve upon or at least simplify this design. A while back I modified a microscope stage using AS5311 linear magnetic encoders so I could get ...
