Verasonics, Inc., the leader in research ultrasound, today announced the release of a significant update for its Vantage NXT Research Ultrasound platform. The release introduces advanced hardware ...

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 ...

How to substantially reduce encoder cost while gaining functionality with 44-Turn multi-turn rotary position sensors—retaining count and position during power loss.

YouTube Live has added the Nimbra Edge and Nimbra 400 series to its list of verified encoders. Inclusion on the list confirms that YouTube has evaluated the encoding solutions for live encoder ...

It’s easy to treat optical encoders as “black boxes” that need minimal consideration before they are installed to translate rotary motion into position or velocity feedback signals for a motion ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...

The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos from ...

Engineers using an incremental encoder for the first time often have a misunderstanding about what types of signals are provided by an encoder and how to interface an encoder to their application.
