The Arduino software environment, including the IDE, libraries, and general approach, are geared toward education. It’s meant as a way to introduce embedded development to newbies. This is a … ...

A quadrature encoder provides a way to let hardware read movement (and direction) of a shaft, and they can be simple, effective, and inexpensive devices. But [Paulo Marques] observed that when it ...

Quadrature optical encoders provide feedback signals in the form of A, B, and Z pulses. Therefore, the A and B signals (exhibiting a phase separation of 90° from the encoder's code wheel) are in ...

OMC has launched a fibre optic transceiver shield for Arduino Uno, designed to work with PMMA (polymer) optical cables up to 25m long, plus demonstration software.

Nanotec Electronic US Inc. is introducing the NOE1, the first rotary encoder in a new product series of optical encoders.

At the same time, demand for customized high-end optical encoder sensors is also growing. We saw an opportunity to address both developments in tandem,” says TT’s Walter Brooks. The FlexSense sensor ...
