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 ...

Bipolar stepper motors provide precise position control while operating in an open loop. Industrial automation applications—such as robots and processing and packaging machinery—and consumer ...

As the saying goes, nothing can be said to be certain, except death, taxes, and the never-ending inventiveness of clock hacks. No matter how tried and proven a concept is, someone will always find a ...

This paper describes the development and implementation of a control system for a direct current (DC) motor using the Arduino Uno microcontroller, based on the speed and direction control of the motor ...

This library implements non-blocking functions to move a stepper motor by jogging (start/stop on command), or by a set angle (absolute or relative). Constant speed ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

Speed control options and the idea of speed regulation vary for different motor types. In a DC motor, the operator or an automated control device must manually adjust the speed of the motor; in a ...

Jan. 9, 2024 - Thomson Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has announced the availability of a rotating-nut stepper motor linear actuator (SMLA) with a rotary ...
