Quadrature Encoder
By: Ling Dian Miao RH2T Magazine Vol.7 Dec2010 Rotary encoder is a sensor attached to a rotating object (such as a shaft or motor) to measure rotation. By measuring rotation your robot can do things such as determine any displacement, velocity, acceleration, or the angle of a rotating sensor. 1.0 …
Basic – Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
PWM is a powerful and commonly used technique for controlling the analog circuits or power to inertial electrical devices and made practical by a processor’s digital output such as the modern electronic power switches.
Measuring Tilt Angle with Gyro and Accelerometer
By Kong Wai Weng RH2T Magazine Vol.1 (May 2009) Measuring the tilt angle of a robot is always a challenge for any robot builder. The accuracy of the measured tilt angle is extremely important for some applications such as a two-wheeled balancing robot, a quad-rotor flying robot and an unmanned aerial …
