Thanks Doug. I had no idea about this product line. You've given me another rabbit hole to dive into.

Super project [mention:193ac2434c814a24b46635a2210baec1:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05]!
I really liked how neat the built and structure of the project is. Inspirational!

Haha, true. PSoC Creator is really amazing software and has a user-friendly interface. I used it for the first time and really liked it. Opens up infinite possibilities of coming up with unique circuits by (re)configuration of blocks.

Doug,

A great demonstrator project.

Cool project!

I like PSoC Creator - it looks nice. I've never used it, so this is my first introduction. I had actually planned on doing almost the same project as part of Path II Programmable with the MiniZed, but struggled a lot with navigating the Vivado design suite. It was like taking an advanced physics class when I should have been in basic algebra... This makes me want to pick up a PSoC4 to play around with. Handling jitter can be pretty tough. I've worked on some vision systems that would freak out if they got jitter from a Z-Pulse on their encoder. Took a while to diagnose the issue...

Great project, Doug.

Not sure I understood all of the PsoC creator stuff but it has given me an insight into an area which is totally new to me.

Thanks

Neil

Great didactic introduction to quadrature encoders, Douglas!

I didn't know what it was called but I'm doing just that for my Design Challenge project. I need to know the direction of movement of a sliding window, if it is opening or closing and how open it is.

I am testing two solutions, one based on several magnets located in the window frame and two inline reed switches on the device that would act as input for the "quadrature encoder" and the other based on the Arduino nano 33 IoT accelerometer with the aid of a trained ML model.

I think that if there is a solution without the need for ML, it is better not to use ML, but since it's about playing and having fun for a while, I'm going to try to see what comes out.

Very good project Douglas.

I first ran into quadrature circuits back in 1972 when I had to interface three stepper motors to counters.

The motors controlled a three axis gimbal so we could control yaw, pitch and roll for testing devices in an optics laboratory.

Great project! There were definitely many aspects to your project (even moving wheels). Interesting and well done. Nice to see you getting some use out of your Surface Teleprompter.
