“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 ...

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 ...

As you may have noticed, I’ve been working with an STM32 ARM CPU using Mbed. There was a time when Mbed was pretty simple, but a lot has changed since it has morphed into Mbed OS. Unfortunately, that ...

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 ...

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) ...

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 ...

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 ...

Encoders are a vital component in many applications that require motion control and feedback information. Whether a system’s requirement is speed, direction, or distance, an encoder produces control ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...
