Similar in size and shape to the common panel-mounted potentiometer, the incremental rotary encoder provides an inexpensive ‘digital’ alternative to the analog potentiometer. It is typically used to ...

We’re digging these daisy-chainable encoders built by [fattore.saimon]. Each module consists of a rotary encoder attached to a PCB with a PIC16F15386 on the back. As we’ve covered in the past, the ...

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 ...

“I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of them met my needs, so I have written my own, and here it is”. Well, I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of ...

Rotary encoders are pretty interesting pieces of technology. They’re a solid way to accurately measure rotation including the direction. [David] recently wrote some software to handle these input ...

This file type includes high resolution graphics and schematics when applicable. Rotary encoders track motor shaft movement for myriad pieces of industrial equipment and commercial devices. For ...

Anyone searching for a way to connect multiple rotary encoders on the I2C bus, may be interested in a new piece of hardware created by Simone based in Turin, Italy. The aptly named I2C Encoder V2 ...
