While there are a couple of open-source brushless drivers already available, [neuromancer2701] created his own brushless motor controller on an Arduino shield.

Rotary encoder vs potentiometer A rotary encoder is a wonderful digital alternative to the old analog potentiometers. Rotary encoders are useful as rotation sensors (or selectors) and look similar to ...

In direct drive motors, the encoder’s signal quality plays a critical role in the amount of electrical current noise, which affects the motor’s dynamic performance and possible power dissipation.

Multiple quadrature encoder support: Mixed-signal FPGAs also offer another benefit for motor control – the capability of driving multiple motors (axles) simultaneously with single mixed-signal device.

CUI Devices has announced an incremental encoder for motors with shafts between 1 and 6.35mm in diameter. “The AMT12 series brings the same durability, accuracy and immunity to environmental ...

The encoder has a high resolution of 4000 CPR, with quadrature, it can reach 16,000 pulses per revolution. A 5-V and 24-V encoder is available, each with a line driver.

HEIDENHAIN's new PressFit rotary encoders are uniquely designed for feedback and to ease mounting within small motors particularly during automated assembly.

Melexis is aiming at electric motors with family of angle-sensing absolute magnetic encoder ICs that can work at high speed and typically deliver 1° accuracy or better. “By detecting the three ...

The RENCO R35i and R35iL encoders are ideal for use in brushless DC motors or stepper motor solutions. Their compact size combined with the high level of performance and availability make these ...
