This brief tutorial explains how the “Wiegand effect” can be used as a reliable, low-cost, energy-harvesting system to power ...

New surface-mount optical sensors increase vertical headroom, enabling more flexible encoder and position-sensing designs across industrial and consumer electronics.

Most CES tech is still on the horizon, but these products are already real, priced and (mostly) ready to ship.

Smart lights that know where they’re placed in a room, wild designs for next-gen routers, and a glowing inedible donut.

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) defines a servo device as “an adjustable-speed AC power drive system that includes an AC motor integrated by feedback, a converter, and control, ...

LILYGO T-LoRa Pager is an ESP32-S3-based IoT handheld device that comes in an old pager form factor but relies on LoRa for text messaging, GNSS for positioning, NFC for contactless communication, and ...

Precision of rotational and linear measurement underpins motion control systems, and optical encoders are a mainstay in delivering this. Converting mechanical motion into digital signals enables ...

The FOT variants of the KCI 1300 inductive encoders from Heidenhain can also serve as a bearing cover. A growing trend in encoder technology is the integration of additional sensors to add diagnostic ...

FLUX uses Giant Magneto Impedance (GMI) technology for encoders, setting new standards for precision and adaptability in a wide range of applications. GMI technology is a principle that has been ...
