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 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 ...

Encoders and decoders are common elements in alarm, remote-control, and measurement systems. However, most of these devices require many I/O lines when under microprocessor or PC control. For example, ...

“I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of them met my needs, so I have written my own, and here it is”. Well, I looked at all the available rotary encoder sketches and none of ...

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 ...

SCHAUMBURG, IL--(Marketwired - June 11, 2015) - When an automation system which includes an encoder must be certified to a specific Performance Level (PL) or Safety Integrity Level (SIL), the design ...

When an automation system which includes an encoder must be certified to a specific Performance Level (PL) or Safety Integrity Level (SIL), the design of its safety system must consider both ...
