Building a 3D motor printed motor is one thing, but creating a completely custom servo motor with encoder requires some significant engineering. In the video after the break [365 Robots] takes us ...

It’s easy to treat optical encoders as “black boxes” that need minimal consideration before they are installed to translate rotary motion into position or velocity feedback signals for a motion ...

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 ...

The structures that UpNano produces in the 3D printer are so small that they are recognizable neither with the naked eye nor with a strong optical microscope. Only under a scanning electron microscope ...

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 ...
