Servo controllers commonly use traditional cascaded configurations in which a velocity loop is nested within a position loop. This configuration originated when current and velocity controllers were ...

Hobby servos are great, but they’re in many ways not ideal for robotic applications. The good news is that [Adam] brings the latest version of his ServoProject, providing off-the-shelf servos with ...

The Icon PID Position Controller is designed to work seamlessly with the Icon H-Bridge module. When used with a brushed dc motor and quadrature encoder, the two devices form a highly versatile ...

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

Motion control systems, which normally control the position of actuator or stage, are at times given the task of providing both position and force control. These systems operate in a dual mode, in ...

Scanning the heavens with a telescope is a great way to spend long, clear winter nights, but using a manual telescope can get to be a drag. A motorized mount with altitude and azimuth control is basic ...
