Gray codes, also known as reflected binary codes, offer a clever way to minimize errors when digital signals transition between states. By ensuring that only one bit changes at a time, they simplify ...

Some years back, a museum asked me to help them with an exhibit a contractor had built for them. It was a wheel like the one on Wheel of Fortune, but smaller and mounted on the wall instead of the ...

[Pete] needed a rotary encoder for one of his project so he set out to build his own. As the name implies, a rotary encoder measures rotation by encoding “steps” into electrical signals which can be ...

The coded processes use a debounce qualified state table requiring two identical, consecutive readings before performing the incrementing or decrementing register's ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...
