What is a rotary encoder? A rotary encoder (RT) is a device that you can rotate infinitely. On most rotary encoders, when you rotate them you will feel a bump (known as steps), and most RTs have about ...

If you would like to add programmable controls via touchscreen and rotary dials to your existing project or next home automation system the M5Dial might be worth more investigation. Its interactive ...

Motion-control or industrial automation system designers who need to measure the rotation of shafts or other mechanical components can typically choose from two types of rotary encoders. Encoders ...

These IXARC magnetic encoders withstand harsh environments and are modular for maximum versatility. Rotary encoders measure the rotation of machine shafts and report the results to electronic controls ...

Rotary quadrature encoders often are used to command digital potentiometers or digital controllers, and quadrature decoding is typically performed in a programmable device (like an FPGA or ...

As you may recall, I am a man who wears many hats. For example, one of my roles is Chief Technical Officer (CTO) at LogiSwitch, where our mission is to debounce the signals coming from ...

Not every project has to be complicated– reinventing the wheel has its place, but sometimes you find a module or two that does exactly what you want, and the project is more than halfway done. That ...

Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for ...

Rotary encoders convert rotary movement or angular position into analogue or digital signals for use in measurement or control systems. They can be classified in a number of ways, primarily by the ...
