Same Sky has created an absolute encoder family for motor shafts from 9 to 15.875mm (5/8inch). Called AMT25 and said to be accurate to ±0.2°, the family relies on the same in-house capacitive ASIC for ...

In a project, repetitive tasks that break the flow of development work are incredibly tiresome and even simple automation can make a world of difference. [Simon Merrett] ran into exactly this while ...

The IXARC rotary encoders now include housings that are only 27 mm long. This reduced length, combined with a diameter of only 36 mm, means that these super-compact devices are ideal for tight spaces.

Rotary encoders are great devices. Monitoring just a few pins you can easily and quickly read in rotation and direction of a user input (as well as many other applications). But as with anything, ...

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 ...
