Unlike conventional cameras, which capture an entire frame at once, a line scan camera records one line at a time in rapid ...

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 ...

The ATOM DX encoder is built on the optical system platform of the market-proven ATOM ™ encoder. It integrates Renishaw's ...

Optical rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals. There are three basic configurations for optical encoders: incremental, absolute, ...

A rugged, self-contained, resolver-based encoder, the Shaft-Tracker from Computer Conversions Corp. can replace less reliable optical shaft encoders. The device provides both incremental and true ...

We build a DIY time fountain that uses strobe lighting and flowing water to create the illusion of frozen or floating droplets. Jeremy Clarkson issues stark cancer warning to public Historic ...

As you may have noticed, I’ve been working with an STM32 ARM CPU using Mbed. There was a time when Mbed was pretty simple, but a lot has changed since it has morphed into Mbed OS. Unfortunately, that ...

Knobs are ubiquitous in technology user interfaces, but touchscreens are increasingly replacing them for interface controls. The latest project from [upir] combines a rotating knob with a touchscreen ...

GigaDevice offers the GD32E512 and GD32E252 MCUs purpose-built for high-speed and low-speed optical modules, respectively.

Artificial crystals of light, consisting of hundreds of thousands of optical microtraps, are routinely created by interfering optical laser beams. These so-called optical lattices act as versatile ...

Optical sensors are a broad class of device for detecting light intensity. This can be just a simple component for notifying when ambient light levels rise above or fall below a prescribed level, or a ...
