Enhancements to Posital’s programmable encoders have made it simpler to configure wheel-equipped encoders to meet user requirements. Wheel-encoder assemblies measure speed and position directly from a ...

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 ...

I want to write about something a little different this time. I removed the mechanical scroll wheel rotary encoder from a discarded optical mouse and used it in a little project. I really liked the ...
