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 available rotary encoder sketches and none of ...

There’s something to be said for the feel of controls. Whether it’s the satisfying snap of a high-quality switch or the buttery touch of the pots on an expensive amplifier, the tactile experience of ...

Rotary quadrature encoders often are used to command digital potentiometers or digital controllers, and quadrature decoding is typically performed in a programmable device (like an FPGA or ...

HEIDENHAIN is meeting the market demand for high-speed, high-resolution modular rotary encoders for motion feedback with the launch of the ERO 2000 series encoder. The encoders’ special properties are ...

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 ...
