Been following your work. Must say I'm impressed. Yours is the first video I found on here that actually attaches the encoders to running motors. Was beginning to think it was a taboo to show the work in real time scenarios. Kudos.
I was doimed once in a competition by the high speed and low torque of my robot if the an off the shelf mechanical product that simply controles torque
Hey there, very crisp explainations about how things work, I would request you to start with the fundamentals of arduino. Many ppl out there who would love to learn about it
Hi Good explanation Can you guide how to develop mini wheel distance measurements encoder. Wheel and overall encoder size will be less than 1” . Thank you
Can please help me, How to use an optical rotary encoder to stop the motor when it rotates a certain amount, I’m building a cablecam, the cable cam should stop automatically when the cable cam reaches a certain distance
Thank you so much. It wasa very informative video.Can you please help me about how to connect the optical encoder used in this video to the raspberry Pi. Also which DC motor have you attached to the spoke. Can you please share the link where you bought that DC Motor and which motor driver can we use to control the DC motor to arduino?
Great video! Is there a limit to how much RPM the encoder can read before it starts losing accuracy? Say I wanted to determine the number of rotations for the wheel of an RC car that’s travelling 80 mph.
You never did the next video. How do you keep track of the encoder pulses in a program that also is controlling and tracking the rest of the robot functions? As your code is processing other things, it will miss state changes.
there's no update on this as this was an incomplete idea with poor implementation for it to be used in any accurate (practical) way. You need a dedicated encoder or use interrupts
Look up resources about using interrupts with Raspberry Pi, and use that to detect when the pin changes. It also makes for much more readable code than the example shown here.
