Precise motion control often requires more than tracking position within a single rotation. Multi-turn encoders provide ...

The Sharp GP2AP03VT00F Time-Of-Flight sensor seems to be a nice part for makers and roboticists, focusing on good short distance sensing where other parts sometimes have problems. Alas, Sharp seems to ...

Across motion control applications, encoders are a common choice to provide feedback over position, direction, and speed. A key aspect of their specification is the selection of an incremental or an ...

Abstract: An architecture for the on-chip implementation of a compressive image encoder is presented. It is 100% compatible with standard CMOS image sensor architectures. It does not interfere with ...

Designed by Nova Radio Labs in the US, the Novaduino Environmental Sensor Kit is an Arduino-programmable air quality and weather monitoring solution built around the company’s own Novaduino Display ...

The $50 sensor runs on two coin cell batteries so you don’t need a nearby power source for installation. The $50 sensor runs on two coin cell batteries so you don’t need a nearby power source for ...

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 ...

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, ...

This is a library for the Arduino IDE that helps interface with ST's VL53L4CD time-of-flight distance sensor. The library makes it simple to configure the sensor and read range data from it via I²C.

I recently had to build an infrared close proximity sensor that could tell if something was dropped in a parcel delivery drop box. After some searching, I ended up using a microcontroller and a piece ...
