Rotation & Encoder Sensors

SKU: SF-COM-09117 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a 12-step rotary encoder with a nice ‘clicking’ feel. It’s breadboard friendly, and has a pretty handy select switch (by pushing in on the knob). The encoder is different from a potentiometer in that an enc...

SKU: DF-SEN0230 | Brand: DFRobot

This is an industrial incremental photoelectric rotary encoder with aluminum material, metal shell and stainless steel shaft. It generates AB two-phase orthogonal pulse signal though the rotation of the grating dis...

SKU: AF-2765 | Brand: Adafruit

The Mini 2-Axis Analog Thumbstick is a compact, self-centring joystick with a black rocker cap, similar in style to PSP joysticks. It provides smooth directional analogue input using two 10 kΩ potentiometers — one for...

SKU: DF-SEN0116 | Brand: DFRobot

An AB two-phase optical encoder designed for the DFRobot 2WD MiniQ robot chassis. Uses two infrared reflective sensors to generate quadrature pulse waveforms with approximately 90° phase difference, allowing you to de...

SKU: DF-SEN0156 | Brand: DFRobot

A rotary switch is a switch operated by rotation. It is often used when more than 2 positions are needed, such as multi-speed control. The Rotary Switch uses an analog input to read the 12 state which saves...

SKU: DF-SEN0038 | Brand: DFRobot

The Gravity:TT Motor Encoders Kit provides rotation tracking for TT motors, giving you accurate angular displacement data using a non-contact sensing method. Ideal for robotics projects where you need to measure wheel...

SKU: EF-EF05018 | Brand: ElecFreaks

An analogue trimpot (trimmer potentiometer) sensor module from the ELECFREAKS PlanetX series, designed for use with micro:bit via RJ11 connection. The potentiometer provides stepless rotation over a 0°–300° range, out...

SKU: EF-EF04061 | Brand: ElecFreaks

A linear sliding potentiometer module from the ElecFreaks Octopus series. Provides an analogue voltage output proportional to the slider position, making it useful as a variable input for controlling volume, brightnes...

SKU: SF-BOB-11722 | Brand: SparkFun

This is a clever little breakout board for both the RGB and R/G illuminated rotary encoders. On one side, it breaks out all of the RGB pins to standard, breadboard friendly, 0.1" headers. Turn it over and it has a foo...

SKU: SF-ROB-12629 | Brand: SparkFun

The DAGU Wheel Encoder Kit is a simple add-on for wheeled robots that measures speed and distance travelled. Each kit includes two neodymium 8-pole magnets with rubber hubs and two hall-effect sensors, providing relia...
