The design of this project includes a servo being used for activating the shutter of this camera switch. A small number of components and a PIC12F675 comprise the switch which connects inline between ...

[James] is designing an open-source 3D printed keyboard switch, with the end goal of building a keyboard with as many printed parts as possible. Since keyswitches are meant to be pressed quite often, ...

The Internet of Things is fun to play with; there’s all manner of devices to automate and control remotely. It can be sketchy, though — make a mistake when coding your automatic plant watering system ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Single-chip microcontrollers geared to servo and other industrial/EV control applications help engineers cost-effectively design multiple-axis systems. As manufacturing ...

There are two types of motion control engineers: Those who are comfortable tuning a servo loop, and those who aren't. The latter basically, have two options. The first is to use a non-servo device ...

The objective is to move a servo motor to a specific location by building a wireless transmitter and a wireless receiver to translate and implement the input data. The objective is to move a servo ...

To correct oscillations in a machine,mechanical design improvements and electronic filters are typically employed.However, these solutions often deliver limited success. Engineers should ...

An industry shift to servo controls for backhoes was one equipment manufacturer JCB bought into. The softer pushing and reduced arm throws required on servo controls led to a reduction in operator ...
