“I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of them met my needs, so I have written my own, and here it is”. Well, I looked at all the ...

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 ...

As you may have noticed, I’ve been working with an STM32 ARM CPU using Mbed. There was a time when Mbed was pretty simple, but a lot has changed since it has morphed into Mbed OS. Unfortunately, that ...

These IXARC magnetic encoders withstand harsh environments and are modular for maximum versatility. Rotary encoders measure the rotation of machine shafts and report the results to electronic controls ...

[Mitxela]’s repair of a Roland JV-1080 (a rack-mounted 90s-era synthesizer) sounds simple: replace a broken rotary encoder on the front panel. It turned out to be anything but simple, since the part ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Rotary encoders track motor shaft movement for myriad pieces of industrial equipment and commercial devices. For ...

We’ve featured a lot of interesting DIY timepieces in the past (most recently this Arduino Sesame Street creation) and the community keeps on creating new ones. Andy Evans, who goes by the username ...

I want to write about something a little different this time. I removed the mechanical scroll wheel rotary encoder from a discarded optical mouse and used it in a little project. I really liked the ...
