EAO, a supplier of HMI components and systems to the vehicle industry has extended its popular Series 09 family of rugged HMI ...

Both types of rotary encoders provide motion sensing and feedback about a rotating shaft. Knowing their differences will help you choose the right type for your needs.

Spinning the rotary encoder cycles through a menu of programs on the 16×2 LCD, and the key map just updates automatically for the chosen program.

Well, this is the encoding scheme that is typically used for rotary incremental encoders. In the case of mechanical encoders, we might start by visualizing the underlying mechanism as being in the ...

When you need to record the angle of something rotating, whether it’s a knob or a joint in a robotic arm, absolute rotary encoders are almost always the way to go. They’re cheap, they’re ...

Rotary encoder decode for Arduino It is amazing how many Arduino programmes for decoding rotary encoders start with something like: “I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of ...

HEIDENHAIN introduces the ROD 1930 rotary encoder series for use in mechanically-demanding motion control environments. With exceptionally rugged bearings, this new incremental encoder can ...

A rotary class, also called a shaft encoder, is a must-have in a hobby shop for driving motors. This device activates motors and measures rotational motion or angular position.

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 ...

Rotary encoding is a common mechanism for the delivery of accurate speed, acceleration, and position of the motor rotor. Rotary encoders are commonly deployed in the closed-loop rotor systems used in ...
