Now that your rotary encoder hardware is up and running it’s time to tell your Arduino what to do with the encoder signals. There are the two basic ways to read a microcontroller’s digital input. With ...

I have to thank one author of a rotary encoder decoder (Ben Buxton). While his code seemed overly complex to my untutored eye, for example creating a new data type, it did show Arduino-novice me two ...

Hi, I'm Bill. I'm a software developer with a passion for making and electronics. I do a lot of things and here is where I ...

knows this, and rather than put up with the bump and grind of a cheap rotary encoder ... Hooked to an Arduino, the motor made a workable encoder, later improved by sending each phase through ...

We always think it is interesting that a regular DC motor and a generator are about ... He shows how to use a stepper motor as an encoder. You can see a video of the setup below.
