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 ...

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 ...

This library uses a PCF8575 to read the pulses of a rotary encoder. As a PCF8575 has 16 lines up to 5 decoders with a switch can be read over I2C. The PCF interrupt line can be used to detect changes ...

Abstract: This paper presents a precision capacitive rotary encoder that integrates a shared charge amplifier, and a multi-stage offset calibration scheme. Recently, capacitive encoders have gained ...

If you ever tried to play the arcade version of Arkanoid on an emulator, you may have found the game impossibly hard. And by that I mean impossible. That's because the game was designed to be played ...
