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 ...

Elma’s E18 rotary encoder comes in through-hole and surface-mount versions in the 14.4 x 11.4 x 6.5mm body size. Rotational life is up to 150,000 revolutions, according to distributor Foremost, which ...

Experimenting with an HF oscillator, I needed to control the varactor diode voltage in precise increments over a 2V-10V range. A buffered potentiometer was the obvious choice, and connecting two pots ...

POSITAL has extended support for SSI communications interfaces across its large family of IXARC absolute rotary encoders.

Adafruit has made an I2C interface for four rotary encoders. It comes in the form of a PCB with four footprints that accept one of the most common rotary encoder forms (Bournes PEC11 horizontal style) ...

The electric motor is the fundamental building block of almost all robotic projects but, without some form of feedback, it lacks the precise positional control required for the task. Small servos from ...

These IXARC magnetic encoders withstand harsh environments and are modular for maximum versatility. Rotary encoders measure the rotation of machine shafts and report the results to electronic controls ...

As you may recall, I am a man who wears many hats. For example, one of my roles is Chief Technical Officer (CTO) at LogiSwitch, where our mission is to debounce the signals coming from ...
