Macropads can be as simple as a few buttons hooked up to a microcontroller to do the USB HID dance and talk to a PC. However, ...

Abstract: Synchronous electromagnetic encoder systems exploiting phase encoding to boost up the number of bits per encoder position are reported in this article. The reader is a one-port structure ...

Abstract: This article presents a new deep-learning architecture based on an encoder-decoder framework that retains contrast while performing background subtraction (BS) on thermal videos. The ...

Some members of the maker community are distraught about Arduino’s new terms of service (ToS), saying that the added rules put the company’s open source DNA at ...

An unexpected revisit to my earlier post on mouse encoder hacking sparked a timely opportunity to reexamine quadrature encoders, this time with a clearer lens and a more targeted focus on their signal ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Qualcomm's acquisition gives it access to millions of developers in the Arduino ecosystem while also supporting its platform strategy for embedded devices, which now extends across hardware, software, ...

Smartphone processor and modem maker Qualcomm is acquiring Arduino, the Italian company known mainly for its open source ecosystem of microcontrollers and the software that makes them function. In its ...

Rotary encoders are electromechanical transducers that convert angular displacement into corresponding electrical signals interpretable by digital systems. This article specifically focuses on panel ...

As AI systems grow increasingly multimodal, the role of visual perception models becomes more complex. Vision encoders are expected not only to recognize objects and scenes, but also to support tasks ...
