As usual, the rotary encoder has three pins. The ‘data’ pins (A-B) are wired directly to pins 1 and 8 of the MX8733 chip. I lifted off the rotary encoder from the circuit board as it was the only ...

For an encoder with 20 increments per revolution, this is equivalent to 40 pulses per second, or a signal period of 25ms. Therefore, when the encoder is rotated faster than two revolutions per second, ...

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 i… ...

Rotary quadrature encoders often are used to command digital potentiometers or digital controllers, ... The circuit shown in Figure 2 initially debounces the switch signals.

These devices are ideal for oil and gas installations, chemical plants, woodworking operations, grain handling facilities and ...

[Rupert] got his V-USB/ATtiny85/rotary encoder circuit working, and at the expense of a ‘mute’ control, also added an awesome looking RGB LED ring powered by Adafruit’s Neopixels.

In devices which use rotary knobs, the AS5601 and its paired magnet may replace a rotary encoder without any change to the host microcontroller or its application software.
