Rotary encoder vs potentiometer A rotary encoder is a wonderful digital alternative to the old analog potentiometers. Rotary encoders are useful as rotation sensors (or selectors) and look similar to ...

This project is a DIY simple optical rotary encoder with 180 points per rotation and bi directional detection that you can make at home with a 3D printer. This Arduino Rotary Encoder is intended to ...

It is amazing how many Arduino programmes for decoding rotary encoders start with something like: "I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches ...

I needed a rotary encoder — I pulled a cheap one out of one of those “49 boards for Arduino” kits you see around. Not the finest encoder in the land, I’m sure, but it should do the job.

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I document my learning in order to be able to inspire other people to make ...

At the heart of the device is a AD9833 waveform generator; with the Arduino, rotary encoder, and 16×2 LCD providing an interface to control it over SPI.

A measuring wheel is a construction measuring tool. The wheel rotates and, using basic rotational kinematics (s=rθ), you can determine the distance between two points. The video below shows a reduced ...
