Rotary encoder vs potentiometer A rotary encoder is a wonderful digital alternative to the old analog potentiometers. Rotary encoders are useful as rotation sensors (or selectors) and look similar to ...

That’s the idea behind this Arduino-based measuring jig for fabricating parts for a CNC build. When it comes to building on the cheap, nobody holds a candle to [HomoFaciens].

As the inductance changes, so does the delay and, thus, the Arduino can sense metal, as you can see in the video below. The simple principle is also simple in practice.
