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 ...

A rotary encoder is a type of electromechanical position sensor that can be used to identify the angular position of the rotary shaft. This type of sensor or module generates an electrical signal ...

In industrial automation and control, PID controller has become one of the most reliable control algorithms that can be implemented to stabilize the output response ...

I want to write about something a little different this time. I removed the mechanical scroll wheel rotary encoder from a discarded optical mouse and used it in a little project. I really liked the ...

Arduino library for the KY-040 Encoder. This library allows the user to connect one or more encoders to any of the interrupt pins supported by your board. The user may then add rotaries that will each ...

#define STEPS 32 // Number of steps for one revolution of Internal shaft // 2048 steps for one revolution of External shaft ...

Want to create a remote-controlled robot? It’s easier than you think! This Arduino-based robot can be wirelessly controlled from up to 100 metres distant. It’s an enjoyable and simple project for ...

What is a rotary encoder? A rotary encoder (RT) is a device that you can rotate infinitely. On most rotary encoders, when you rotate them you will feel a bump (known as steps), and most RTs have about ...
