Rotary encoders are pretty interesting pieces of technology. They’re a solid way to accurately measure rotation including the direction. [David] recently wrote some software to handle these input ...

This application note demonstrates how to read data from the two-channel output of an incremental rotary encoder. Data from these two channels are based on the Gray Encoding System and can be used to ...

Rotary encoders are electromechanical devices used for sensing in myriad applications—on motors paired with drives and automated machinery for everything from consumer electronics, elevators, and ...

My previous blog Encoders Know All the Angles introduced encoders that provide information about rotary positions. A diagram illustrated the phase relationship of signals from an incremental encoder.

This readme gives an overview of the design and build of a Absolute Capacitive Rotary Encoder (ACRE) that consists out of two simple 2-layer pcb's and a handful of components. The ACRE is able to ...

Safety concepts, safety integrity, machinery directive - The manufacturers of machines and plant, on the one hand and the suppliers of system components on the other are having to become more and more ...
