• The new mantra of position encoding is low-current drain. • Capacitive encoding is a way to realize low-power consumption without giving up resolution or accuracy, even at relatively low speeds.

New surface-mount optical sensors increase vertical headroom, enabling more flexible encoder and position-sensing designs across industrial and consumer electronics.

Smart lights that know where they’re placed in a room, wild designs for next-gen routers, and a glowing inedible donut.

If you’ve got a decent CRT monitor, you can usually adjust the settings to make sure the image scans nicely across the whole ...

Abstract: This article introduces a low-power spintronic rotary encoder capable of 8-bit analog-to-digital conversion. The proposed encoder leverages spin-Hall effect-driven domain wall motion ...

This C library reads rotation data and switch presses from rotary encoders. It supports mechanical encoders like KY-040 (HW-040), or EC11. It uses GPIO_IRQ interrupts for automatic event detection - ...
