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 ...

“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 ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

Posital optocode absolute rotary encoders are programmable in compliance with Common Industrial Protocol specifications. Signal and power connections are via M12 micro-style connectors for reliability ...

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 ...

You know, we hadn’t realized how tired we were of vertical laser harps until we saw [Jonathan Bumstead]’s entry into the 2019 Hackaday Prize. It’s all well and good to imitate the design of the ...

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 ...

As the demand for functionally safe equipment products grows, so does Heidenhain’s component product offerings. As the demand for functionally safe equipment products grows, so does Heidenhain’s ...

Posital's Magnetocode (MCD) encoders are available with heavy-duty IP69K stainless steel housings — for a reliable alternative to potentiometers. Posital's Magnetocode (MCD) encoders are available ...
