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) ...

Rotary encoders are great devices. Monitoring just a few pins you can easily and quickly read in rotation and direction of a user input (as well as many other applications). But as with anything, ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

New TMR Sensors Enrich MDT's Rotary Sensor and Encoder Product Portfolio, Offering Customers Flexible Choices to Best Suit Their Needs "TMR4Mxx are the underlying sensing components of MDT's GE-T/GE-A ...

The Snap-SCM-SSI I/O module offers a communications interface between digital encoders and the vendor’s Snap PAC System I/O processors or programmable automation controllers. The Snap-SCM-SSI I/O ...

Optical encoders and transducers enable users to translate information from one code to another. Optical encoders come in different varieties including rotary encoders and linear encoders. The optical ...

Avago Technologies announced the addition of a new compact high temperature six-channel optical incremental C-shaped encoder module for Brushless DC motors used in industrial and factory automation ...
