In this issue, we sorted out several items that were hot in March, including network, backend, database, visualization tools, etc.
SmartKnob
SmartKnob is an open source input device with a software-configurable brake and virtual locator. A brushless gimp motor is paired with a magnetic encoder to provide closed-loop torque feedback control so that the feel of the ratchet and limiter can be dynamically created and adjusted. Although this is a “DIY” open source project, it is not yet a full-fledged plug and play project. If you intend to build it yourself, note that it requires advanced welding experience to build – surface mount soldering with very small spacing is required (reflow or hot air is recommended), and assembly is time-consuming and delicate.
