Everyone has at least one extra mouse laying around; why not get some use out of it? Disassembling the mouse you can get two optical encoders plus four infrared emitter/detector pairs. Then you can ...

Rotary quadrature encoders often are used to command digital potentiometers or digital controllers, and quadrature decoding is typically performed in a programmable device (like an FPGA or ...

Avago AEDT-981x is a family of industrial grade optical encoders offering from 2,000 to 5,000 counts per revolution (CPR) using a code wheel of 11mm optical radius. The devices are three channel ...

Encoders are widely used in the motion control and automation industry to monitor the position and speed of motors. This information can be used by the motion control electronics to detect if the ...

The C14 two-bit, panel-mount optical encoders are now available with optional IP65 protection against dust and water intrusion. The components allegedly deliver a very clean square wave output. They ...
