At a glance Expert's Rating Pros ・Outstanding performance & low latency ・Feather-light & stable ・Comfortable shape & coating ...

The LightGen chip is orders of magnitude more efficient too. But it isn't ready to break out of the lab just yet. As generative AI models grow more powerful, their energy use is becoming a serious ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

Precision of rotational and linear measurement underpins motion control systems, and optical encoders are a mainstay in delivering this. Converting mechanical motion into digital signals enables ...

The monitoring of slopes’ dynamics is essential to ensure the safety of infrastructures exposed to landslide risk and to develop mitigation strategies. However, it is not always possible to perform ...

Analog and digital optoelectronic sensors combine an LED and an optoelectronic integrated circuit in a compact package to enable optical encoders to provide absolute or incremental position detection ...

In any application using motors for automation, there is a need to ensure accurate control of the motor. To make this possible, the position and speed of the rotor in the motor, which is usually ...

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 ...
