Introduction Computer peripherals are a wide array of devices that allow computers to interact with the outside world. They come in different shapes and sizes, from mice and keyboards to scanners and ...

Choosing the correct number of channels and output type for an encoder can be the determining factor for a feedback system to function properly.

This encoder type is normally used to monitor shaft position during power up and power down. Unlike quadrature encoders, the encoded output lets you read the shaft position without moving the encoder.

Proper encoder wiring is key to building a long-lasting, reliable machine. To specify the best encoder cable for an application, factors such as output type required and cable length should be ...

In this article we will learn about the different types of Rotary Encoders and how it works, and interface a KY-040 rotary encoder with arduino ...

Encoders are widely used to help control machine position and speed. Typical encoder output, a series of quadrature signals, consists of two full square waves, offset by 90° in phase. The number ...

Gray code is a form of binary and the most popular absolute encoder output type. This white paper will explain gray code, discuss converting Gray Code to Natural Binary, explain how to use software to ...

Encoders play vital roles on wind turbine equipment but the environment is not always kind to them. A few guidelines help get the most from the devices.
