I recently had the chance to dive into some of the benefits and drawbacks of rotary encoders and how to work with them. I often work with students on different levels of electronic projects.

It works by using two absolute rotary encoders that each have a whopping 1024 positions available. One encoder is stuck into the South Pole, and it reads the lines of longitude as the user spins ...

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 document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

The IXARC rotary encoders now include housings that are only 27 mm long. This reduced length, combined with a diameter of only 36 mm, means that these super-compact devices are ideal for tight ...

Absolute rotary encoders work on motors up to 8,000rpm Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch).

Fully qualified to AEC-Q100, the AS5140H 10-bit magnetic rotary encoder works in ambient temperatures up to 150°C.

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 ...
