Rotary encoders are useful as rotation sensors (or selectors) and look similar to potentiometers ... Now that your rotary encoder hardware is up and running it’s time to tell your Arduino what to do ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I ...

I have to thank one author of a rotary encoder decoder (Ben Buxton). While his code seemed overly complex to my untutored eye, for example creating a new data type, it did show Arduino-novice me two ...

I want to write about something a little different this time. I removed the mechanical scroll wheel rotary encoder from a discarded optical mouse and used it in a little project. I really liked the ...

I needed a rotary encoder — I pulled a cheap one out of one of those “49 boards for Arduino” kits you see around. Not the finest encoder in the land, I’m sure, but it should do the job.

AMS), a leading provider of high performance analog ICs and sensors, gives designers an extremely reliable replacement for conventional rotary encoders, while providing a software-compatible ...

It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and repurposed, but when it happens, like with this reimagined rotary ... encoder, like the shaft and panel bushing, and an AS5048A sensor ...

However, some situations require more-precise speed regulation. At those times a special sensor called an encoder is attached to the motor shaft to monitor rpm. Encoders generate one or more ...

engineers can now integrate a fully featured rotary sensor directly on existing shafts without the packaging issues that typically accompany encoders or other through shaft sensing devices.
