LSI Computer Systems (LSI/CSI) has created a family of 63 tap (6bit) digital potentiometers for direct connection to quadrature decoders, push buttons, GPIOs or SPI serial controls. Debounce circuits ...

Quadrature encoders have many uses in position-sensing applications. This implementation uses a Xilinx complex programmable logic device (CPLD) to count the pulses from the encoder and determine the ...

A high-speed quadrature encoder module provides simultaneous input and decoding for up to eight incremental quadrature encoders at resolutions of 16, 32, or 48 bits. The USB-QUAD08 data acquisition ...

Suiting use with the vendor’s PowerDNA, UEILogger, and UEIPCA data-acquisition and -control cubes, the four-channel DAN- Quad-604 quadrature-encoder input board provides standard A, B, and Z index ...

The counter project was created to read one or two digital or analog sensors and display the running total on an organic LED display. The speed of an attached DC motor can be controlled by the counter ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

If you are a novice to rotary encoders for human-machine interface, there is a potential pit-fall. Otherwise called quadrature encoders, they deliver two-bit gray-scale binary on rotation, with the ...

Special hardware can overcome software latency that may otherwise negate precise motion control. Precision motion control is virtually never an end in itself. Rather, it ties position to other events ...

The quest for energy-efficient designs has made capacitive position encoders a hot topic. • The new mantra of position encoding is low-current drain. • Capacitive encoding is a way to realize ...

Everyone has at least one extra mouse laying around; why not get some use out of it? Disassembling the mouse you can get two optical encoders plus four infrared emitter/detector pairs. Then you can ...
