He’s converted a mouse into a tuning dial. The scroll wheel on a mouse is nothing more than a rotary encoder, and can easily be used as a sort of tuning knob. Replacing it with a better encoder ...
Rotary encoders convert a shaft's angular position into an analog or digital code. They are characterized as either incremental or absolute devices: incremental encoders are capable of tracking motion ...
[GreatScott!] knows this, and rather than put up with the bump and grind of a cheap rotary encoder, he decided to find an alternative. He ended up exploring hard drive motors as encoders ...
An incremental rotary encoder converts angular motion or the position of a shaft to either analog or digital code. Incremental encoders are often used in feedback systems. These encoders translate ...
Isolated, tilting rotor test rig: The test rig is equipped with a load cell, an encoder, and can be fitted with electric motors in the range of 200W to 7kW for rotors with the diameter range of 6” to ...
Raspberry Pi is used for a Proxmox manager with a rotary encoder and e-paper display. Idea from Reddit user auburngrad2019 who repurposed a Pi Zero for this creative project. Turn a dial to swap ...
