It isn’t hard to imagine a scenario where you are stuck at home all day with nothing to do and certain items are in short supply. Sure, bathroom tissue gets all the press, but try buying some flour or ...

What is a rotary encoder? A rotary encoder (RT) is a device that you can rotate infinitely. On most rotary encoders, when you rotate them you will feel a bump (known as steps), and most RTs have about ...

Today, we are going to investigate the TMC2208 stepper motor driver, a commonly used driver module that performs well with 2-phase bipolar stepper motors. The TMC2208 module is manufactured by ...

⇒ UART Configuration : One of the most powerful aspects of the TMC2209 is its single-wire UART interface. With UART, you can configure motor current, microstepping resolution, operating modes, and ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about the same thing. Sure, each is optimized for its purpose, but inefficiencies aside, you can use electricity to rotate ...

This project demonstrates how to control a linear CNC stage using an Arduino, a TMC2209 stepper motor driver, and a Mitutoyo LGS-1012P linear encoder. The system employs a PID control loop to ...

“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 ...

Jan. 9, 2024 - Thomson Industries, Inc., a leading manufacturer of linear motion control solutions, has announced the availability of a rotating-nut stepper motor linear actuator (SMLA) with a rotary ...
