As wonderful as mechanical keyboards are, most of the pre-fab and group buy models out there have zero media controls. If you want rotary encoders and OLED screens to show what function layer you’re ...

Integrating touchscreen and rotary-knob control into a single IC simplifies combining these two different but complementary user-input devices. Touchscreens and touchpads haven’t totally taken over ...

If you would like to add programmable controls via touchscreen and rotary dials to your existing project or next home automation system the M5Dial might be worth more investigation. Its interactive ...

Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices used for sensing in myriad applications—on motors paired with drives and automated machinery for everything from consumer electronics, elevators, and ...

The IXARX Rotary Encoders from Posital-Fraba are available in a wide range of mechanical configurations. Position and motion sensor specialist Posital has announced that it has expanded its range of ...

Experimenting with an HF oscillator, I needed to control the varactor diode voltage in precise increments over a 2V-10V range. A buffered potentiometer was the obvious choice, and connecting two pots ...

Engineers use rotary encoders to measure the angular position of an attached device, such as a motor shaft, or to measure distance indirectly when used with a linear belt drive, for example. Rotary ...

Last year, Automation World examined the differences between accuracy, resolution, and precision in the encoder world. And while understanding the differences among these terms is important to ...
