While there are a couple of open-source brushless drivers already available, [neuromancer2701] created his own brushless motor controller on an Arduino shield.

Rotary encoder vs potentiometer A rotary encoder is a wonderful digital alternative to the old analog potentiometers. Rotary encoders are useful as rotation sensors (or selectors) and look similar to ...

By Glen Young, Actel September 11, 2007 -- pldesignline.com Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications ...

This device was used to test and evaluate the different encoders using a TMB+ torque motor from ETEL. The cutaway shows the positions of the different absolute angle encoders: (a) a Heidenhain RCN ...

CUI Devices has announced an incremental encoder for motors with shafts between 1 and 6.35mm in diameter. “The AMT12 series brings the same durability, accuracy and immunity to environmental ...

Melexis is aiming at electric motors with family of angle-sensing absolute magnetic encoder ICs that can work at high speed and typically deliver 1° accuracy or better. “By detecting the three ...

HEIDENHAIN’s PressFit encoders are made for integration into motors with a flange size as small as 40 mm x 40 mm or an axis height of only 20 mm!

Relative rotary encoder The relative rotary encoder, also known as incremental encoder, is an applied optical encoding methodology. Generally, the rotary encoder utilizes a patterned spinning disc ...
