All-optical part supports 1,000-m lengths, and resists EMI/RFI, lightning and static Suiting rotation-sensing applications, the MR312 ZapFree incremental rotary encoder is presented as the industry's ...

Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices used for sensing in myriad applications—on motors paired with drives and automated machinery for everything from consumer electronics, elevators, and ...

A new combined interface for Optocode absolute rotary encoders allows simultaneous communication of both absolute and incremental rotary position data. The interface provides cost-effective ...

Adafruit has made an I2C interface for four rotary encoders. It comes in the form of a PCB with four footprints that accept one of the most common rotary encoder forms (Bournes PEC11 horizontal style) ...

The rotary encoder family from austriamicrosystems has two new members, the AS5030 and the AS5130, which are 8-bit absolute magnetic encoder ICs that feature pushbutton and low-power-mode capabilities ...

The AS5050 10-bit magnetic rotary encoder integrates automatic power-down and wake-up modes. On a single chip, it hosts four Hall elements, a 10-bit angle encoder, smart-power-management controller, ...

Is it really possible to build a rotary encoder out of a flattened tin can and a couple of photodetectors? Sure it’s possible, but what kind of resolution are you going to get from such a contraption?

Experimenting with an HF oscillator, I needed to control the varactor diode voltage in precise increments over a 2V-10V range. A buffered potentiometer was the obvious choice, and connecting two pots ...

The gmmk Pro is a 75% keyboard with a full cnc aluminum case with a gasket-mounted design, a rotary encoder knob, ...
