The MR121 encoder cable promises to resolve ground loop and interference problems in motion control systems, while extending the distance between the encoder and controller.Functioning like a standard ...

A while back we featured a magnetic rotary encoder that [LongHairedHacker] designed. The heart of the system is an AS5043 magnetic rotary sensor which runs from $6.5-$11 and has a 10 bits precision.

Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and ...

Rotary encoders are indispensable tools for providing position feedback in many motion-control and automation processes. Lifts, overhead monorails, automated storage and retrieval systems, and cranes ...
