Rotary encoders are so well-ingrained in various industrial and commercial processes that coming up with a list of all its applications would be near impossible. Instead of doing that, here are just ...

A Rotary encoder is an input device which helps the user to interact with a system. It looks more like a Radio potentiometer but it outputs a train of pulses which makes its application unique. When ...

It is the same as the open collector, but, as the name implies, it contains the pull-up resistor internal to the encoder. If your controller doesn’t have a load, the encoder output will have to be ...

While “rotary encoder” is often abbreviated to “encoder,” it should not be confused with other electromechanical or electronic encoding devices used for data format conversion. While it’s ...

Encoder-decoder architectures have become a mainstay in various AI applications, particularly in generative tasks involving sequences like text, speech, or images. Their popularity stems from the ...

Part 1 of this FAQ looked at the optical rotary encoder, a low-cost, high-resolution, easy-to-use sensor for indicating incremental shaft position (although it can be “upgraded” to indicate absolute ...
