So, I'm halfway through designing my future rackmount cabinet, and I hit upon the idea of embedding a LCD display in the front door, with some method of controlling the LCD, plus maybe the main volume ...

Encoders are critical to the production of advanced electronics, one of the fastest growing and advancing industries in the world. Rotary, angle and linear encoders are all used in one form or another ...

Optical rotary encoders are the most widely used way to transform mechanical rotary motion into electrical signals. There are three basic configurations for optical encoders: incremental, absolute, ...

Rotary encoders sense changes in the position of a rotating shaft, then generate signals that send speed, direction, and position information to a receiving device such as a counter, drive, or ...

Experimenting with an HF oscillator, I needed to control the varactor diode voltage in precise increments over a 2V-10V range. A buffered potentiometer was the obvious choice, and connecting two pots ...

What is a rotary encoder? A rotary encoder (RT) is a device that you can rotate infinitely. On most rotary encoders, when you rotate them you will feel a bump (known as steps), and most RTs have about ...

HEIDENHAIN’s RENCO brand of encoders are well suited and available for use within a variety of mobile robot applications. Specifically, the modular RENCO R35i and RCML15 rotary encoders have proven ...
