Quadrature encoders work inmany applications to determinedisplacement and direction of mechanicaltravel. They vary in design, butthey all do the same thing: supply a setof square waves 90° out of ...

The counter project was created to read one or two digital or analog sensors and display the running total on an organic LED display. The speed of an attached DC motor can be controlled by the counter ...

Quadrature encoders have many uses in position-sensing applications. This implementation uses a Xilinx complex programmable logic device (CPLD) to count the pulses from the encoder and determine the ...

Precisely tracking speed, acceleration, and position of a motor's rotor is an essential requirement for many motor control applications found in everyday equipment such as fax machines, elevators, and ...

Adaptable to a wide range of designs, the C14 panel-mount optical encoder delivers a two-bit quadrature resolution via a clean, crisp square-wave output. The encoder employs no plastic components and ...

If you are a novice to rotary encoders for human-machine interface, there is a potential pit-fall. Otherwise called quadrature encoders, they deliver two-bit gray-scale binary on rotation, with the ...

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 ...

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 ...
