Rotary encoders are typicallyused in positioning systems withservo feedback in which the cost of theencoder usually is of minor importance.Encoders, however, are also usedin user interfaces to encode ...

The AS5045 magnetic rotary encoder IC is capable of 12-bit resolution at rotational speeds as low as 1,000 rpm. The part provides absolute angle information in a digital format for motion-sensing ...

This encoder has a passive design and runs at temperatures from -60 to 150C, runs farther than copper encoder links by up to 1,000m, is immune to lightning and high-voltage static or plasma fields, ...

Most of the hacks we see around these parts have to do with taking existing components and cobbling them together in interesting new ways. It’s less often that we see existing components gutted and ...
