[TheHyperFix] had a problem. He’d spied a brilliant camera slider, but didn’t want to lay out big money to acquire it. The natural solution? Build one! Only, life is seldom so straightforward. The ...

Building a 3D motor printed motor is one thing, but creating a completely custom servo motor with encoder requires some significant engineering. In the video after the break [365 Robots] takes us ...

Abstract: This article presents a new type of electromagnetic encoders based on step-impedance resonators (SIRs). The encoders consist of a linear chain of transversely oriented SIRs etched on a ...

Abstract: In this article, two approximate Radix-4 Booth encoders Approximate Radix-4 Booth Encoder1, 2 (AR4BE1 and AR4BE2) are. proposed to achieve great accuracy-cost tradeoff, and a series of ...

Cheap and cheerful.

We've all heard that "if you want something done right, you have to do it yourself." And that’s usually fine when it comes to tasks at work or baking your own birthday cake. But if you want a specific ...
