“Measure twice, cut once” is great advice in every aspect of fabrication, but perhaps nowhere is it more important than when building a CNC machine. When precision is the name of the game, you need ...

The Arduino Pro Opta series has emerged as a catalyst in the world of industrial automation, offering robust and flexible solutions that cater specifically to the needs of PLC engineers. With the ...

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 ...

Arduino has become one of the key building blocks of the open hardware movement. Arduino, the platform, is designed to be modular, affordable, and easy for virtually anyone to use. The company behind ...

“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 available rotary encoder sketches and none of ...

The durable Arduino Opta micro PLC enables industrial and building automation. It integrates with existing machines, devices, and the modular Arduino ecosystem – from sensor modules to SOMs and ...

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 ...

Arduino enthusiasts and industrial application developers might be interested in the upcoming release of the new Blues Wireless hardware for the Arduino Opta. Industrial connectivity has undergone a ...

Over half of the open-source hardware pioneer’s business comes from the US Sales of its industrial-use PRO line have doubled every year for the past three years Technology veteran Guneet Bedi named ...

For most of our prototype, hobby, or one-off electronics projects it’s perfectly fine to use a development platform like an Arduino Uno or something to that effect. They’re both easy to program and ...
