In the current LinuxCNC 2.10 master branch, the G-code preview in Gmoccapy (Gremlin widget) remains blank when loading a file on machines with absolute encoders (e.g. EtherCAT servos). Initialization ...

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 ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

The MESA 7I77 card set is a FPGA based 6 axis analog control system for CNC, industrial automation retrofits, and OEM systems. 6 axis of analog outputs and encoder inputs are sufficient for up to 5 ...

There is an ever-increasing demand for accuracy in many manufacturing industries. Adding to this general need for higher accuracy is the fact that industry sectors such as semiconductors and ...

Industrial robots are shockingly expensive when new, typically only affordable for those running factories of some sort. Once they’ve gone through their life cycle building widgets, they can be ...

In context: It's no secret Nvidia's NVENC media engine in GeForce GPUs has been the preferred option for streamers for years, but AMD and Intel have recently done a decent job of catching up. That ...

Why it matters: AMD's new AV1 encoder and fully unlocked encode sessions will allow Radeon RX 7000 series GPUs to compete directly against Nvidia RTX GPUs and Intel Arc Alchemist GPUs in the streaming ...
