Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

Abstract: To improve the measurement precision of the optical encoder working at various speeds, an adaptive high-precision measurement framework is designed based on deep reinforcement learning (DRL) ...

Rotary encoders are electromechanical transducers that convert angular displacement into corresponding electrical signals interpretable by digital systems. This article specifically focuses on panel ...

In his decades-long career in tech journalism, Dennis has written about nearly every type of hardware and software. He was a founding editor of Ziff Davis’ Computer Select in the 1990s, senior ...

Git isn’t hard to learn. Moreover, with a Git GUI such as Atlassian’s Sourcetree, and a SaaS code repository such as Bitbucket, mastery of the industry’s most powerful version control tools is within ...

Let's be honest, we're all drama queens sometimes. Whether you're texting your bestie you're “literally dying” over the latest celebrity gossip or declaring on social media that Monday mornings are ...

Precision of rotational and linear measurement underpins motion control systems, and optical encoders are a mainstay in delivering this. Converting mechanical motion into digital signals enables ...

This library uses a PCF8575 to read the pulses of a rotary encoder. As a PCF8575 has 16 lines up to 8 decoders can be read over I2C. The PCF interrupt line can be used to detect changes in the ...

Large language models (LLMs) have changed the game for machine translation (MT). LLMs vary in architecture, ranging from decoder-only designs to encoder-decoder frameworks. Encoder-decoder models, ...
