An interesting trend in industrial motion control has been the replacement of self-contained encoders (rotation sensors with their own housing, bearings and shaft) with modular or “kit” encoders.

Before we start, I want to point out that there are two connectors for the USB A to micro USB cable that connects the robot to your computer. One is for connecting to the Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect ...

Functions to go a specified distance: Driving speed PWM (2.0 V) is the PWM value to use for driving a fixed distance. If it is set higher than RAMP_VALUE_OFFSET_SPEED_PWM (2.3 V), the software ...

Stepper motors are a mainstay in precision control systems, valued for their simple open-loop operation and high torque at low speeds. Commonly found in CNC machines, 3D printers, and robotics, they ...

This project focuses on PID-position-control experiments with Arduino. The HTML/JavaScript-based GUI enables easy optimization of the parameters. Since there are many articles on the internet about ...

Lika Electronic's AMM33 miniature encoder is equipped with a 6 mm blind hollow shaft and is ideally suited for integration into very small size motors. The SMAR1 off-axis encoder fits perfectly into ...
