I enjoy animating scenes on my O gauge layout, and have come across a great way to get slower, more-precise realistic action: ...

Disturbance rejection, like command tracking, is usually expressed graphically. The graphs, called disturbance rejection plots, show the effect of PIV gains on disturbance torque applied to the shaft ...

When it comes to the world of motion control, it’s easy to take your feedback device for granted. After all, it’s a small ...

For automating machines that require only two to three axes of electric actuators, pulse outputs may be the simplest way to go. Using pulse outputs from a PLC is a cost-effective way to get simple ...

The project uses an Arduino to control a bank of four independent RC servos with a PC using a USB cable and a modular Arduino-python software stack. The device can be a great starting point for a ...

[Chris] is at it again and this time he has put together a tutorial rounding off his animatronic face by actuating the mouth. His tutorial covers two different styles of robot mouth: an LCD mouth ...

Servo control is good, but wireless control is even better. This hack by [PyroElectro Tutorials] shows you how to do this wirelessly using two Xbee modules. There’s also a great example in the video ...
