While there is a time and place for wirelessly controlled devices, sometimes you want something you can just reach out and ...

The ESP32 keeps finding new jobs in my house.

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

There are plenty of radios you can buy that pick up MW and SW bands if that’s what you’re into. Or, you can follow [mircemk]’s example, and whip one up yourself instead. The build employs an ESP32 as ...

An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

Abstract: This paper presents a precision capacitive rotary encoder that integrates a shared charge amplifier, and a multi-stage offset calibration scheme. Recently, capacitive encoders have gained ...

Abstract: This article introduces an inexpensive Wiegand-sensor-based rotary encoder that avoids rotating magnets and is suitable for electrical-drive applications. So far, Wiegand-sensor-based ...

This library was written for use with the dial pictured above (Dial from Czech telephone Tesla AS-10, green and yellow wire). But it should work with anything capable of producing bursts of pulses.

Optiboot (an older version) is installed by default on the Arduino Uno and (as of 2018) official Arduino Nano boards. It can be installed on all older mega8, 168 or 328 based Arduinos. As of 2019, ...

The cheapest dryer is a rotary clothesline. Drying your laundry outdoors is better for the planet, saves you money and you get that lovely fresh air scent for free. And did you know keeping your ...
