Rotary and linear optical encoders are common in position and motion sensing. Here, a disc or plate containing opaque and transparent segments passes between an LED and detector to interrupt a light ...

Leading analog semiconductor manufacturer Avago Technologies Limited (AVGO) recently introduced the AEDR-87xx series of 3-channel reflective optical encoder devices. The series currently includes the ...

In aviation the term fly-by-wire means that the control surfaces of an aircraft are operated by actuators rather than via cables and rods, with electrical signals transmitting information from the ...

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 ...

The HEDB-9140 series are three channel optical incremental encoder module offered with a codewheel. When used with a codewheel, these low cost modules detect rotary position. Each module consists of a ...

Want to monitor how much a wheel has turned in your project? Then you need a rotary encoder! Here’s a way to add rotary encoding without changing the mounting method of your wheels (translated).
