Stepper motors are a mainstay in precision control systems, valued for their simple open-loop operation and high torque at ...

Now suppose your latest self-quarantine project needs a rotary shaft encoder. Not having one, what do you do? If you are [Tech Build] you go all MacGyver on an old printer and pull out a stepper ...

I have to thank one author of a rotary encoder decoder (Ben Buxton). While his code seemed overly complex to my untutored eye, for example creating a new data type, it did show Arduino-novice ...

Together, this handful of parts provide all that is needed to read the encoder, control ... the ‘stepper motor driver’ interface pins hooked up to the motion controller upstream. The Arduino ...

or else breaking down and wiring up a Schmidt trigger on each encoder output. A stepper motor and driver was wired up to the Arduino UNO (Figs. 5 and 6). Now, in addition to the serial monitor ...

Makers, developers and Arduino ... Make your stepper motor applications extremely compact ! – Make sure that you never miss a step again, thanks to the on-board encoder and control algorithm ...

Now that your rotary encoder hardware is up and running it’s time to tell your Arduino what to do with the encoder signals. There are the two basic ways to read a microcontroller’s digital input. With ...
