• Checking optical and imager geometry for M3-F Developer’s Kits
  How to check your lens and imager compatibility before ordering a DK-M3-F developer's kit.
  
  
• M3-F focus modules in camera system design
  Describes the use of the M3-F module in camera systems. Includes module details, comparison to other focus techniques, block diagrams and integration information, and discussion of bi-directional vs. uni-directional repeatability and other performance considerations.
  
  
• Auto focus for picoprojectors
  Describes a miniature autofocus mechanism using a SQUIGGLE RV micro motor, NSE-5310 position sensor, and an ultrasonic rangefinder.
  
  
• Using SQUIGGLE motors in miniature closed-loop motion systems
  New Scale has created a number of tiny, high-resolution closed-loop systems with SQUIGGLE motors incorporating position sensors and other position feedback devices. We excel at creating application-specific closed-loop miniature motion systems for our OEM customers. This application note provides an overview of SQUIGGLE motors in closed-loop systems.
