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 ...

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).

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
