Now suppose your latest self-quarantine project needs a rotary shaft encoder. Not having one ... Of course, an Arduino reads the pulses. We love using things for unintended purposes.

Two opamps on two coils produce a quadrature signal just like a normal encoder. When the shaft turns in one direction ... There’s code to let an Arduino read the pulses. And here’s plenty ...

Now that your rotary encoder hardware is up and running it’s time to tell your Arduino what to do with the encoder signals. There are the two basic ways to read a microcontroller’s digital input. With ...

Basic incremental encoders send out a pulse each time the shaft moves a certain amount. Yet for many motion control applications, this isn't enough information: The control must know the exact ...

I have to thank one author of a rotary encoder decoder (Ben Buxton). While his code seemed overly complex to my untutored eye, for example creating a new data type, it did show Arduino-novice me two ...

Featuring a compact footprint, the Series 60A 3-in-1, multifunction joystick integrates an optical encoder, joystick, and pushbutton onto a single shaft. The component replicates the functionality ...

Makers, developers and Arduino enthusiasts searching for silent stepper drivers with high resolution encoders which are also Arduino compatible. May be interested in the new range of uStepper S ...
