[Pete] needed a rotary encoder for one of his project so he set out to build his own. As the name implies, a rotary encoder measures rotation by encoding “steps” into electrical signals which can be ...

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 ...

Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and ...

FLUX GmbH has launched a whitepaper that examines the benefits of FLUX inductive technology in enabling next-generation ...

Microchip has introduced a touch controller family for ‘knob-on-display’ (KoD) human-machine interfaces. These interfaces add a physical ‘clicky’ knob to the front of a display without traditional ...

The SKM 36 SinCos Motor Feedback System is a multi-turn rotary encoder that tracks absolute position over 4,096 turns. The SKM 36 features a minimum number of components to allow miniature and ...
