It’s little secret that stepper motors are everywhere in FDM 3D printers, but there’s no real reason why you cannot take another type of DC motor like a brushless DC (BLDC) motor and use that instead.
Abstract: This article introduces a low-power spintronic rotary encoder capable of 8-bit analog-to-digital conversion. The proposed encoder leverages spin-Hall effect-driven domain wall motion ...
This C library reads rotation data and switch presses from rotary encoders. It supports mechanical encoders like KY-040 (HW-040), or EC11. It uses GPIO_IRQ interrupts for automatic event detection - ...
