In robotics, movements must be precise and well-controlled. As robots are asked to do more as industry becomes more familiar with the technology, there will be an increasing need for high accuracy ...
Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for ...
Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...
Special attention is needed for Gotek model SFRKC30.AT2, which uses a small QFN32 MCU, because the rotary-select pin at the KC30 header is reassigned to the Apple II disk interface. If using a rotary ...
Rotary encoders connect to a shaft and, as the shaft rotates, the encoder outputs pulses. These are used to determine the speed of the object. By counting the amount of pulses per one full turn of the ...
Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the optical rotary encoder, a low-cost, high-resolution, easy-to-use sensor for indicating incremental shaft position (although it can be “upgraded” to indicate absolute ...
The oddball you’re looking at is called the NSU Ro 80 2 Porte + 2, a curious creation from Pininfarina that you probably haven’t heard of—until now. This unique one-off is about to hit the auction ...
Most modifications simply involve plugging new hardware add-ons into pin headers on the Gotek PCB. The PCB layout is summarised below. We will refer to this diagram for each hardware mod. SFRKC30.AT2: ...
The ATTINY45 provides 20 millisecond pulses on either the right turn output or the left turn output. The ATTINY84 provides 20 millisecond pulses on either the right turn output or the left turn output ...
