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: AF-377 | Brand: Adafruit

This high-quality 24-pulse rotary encoder features detented rotation with a satisfying click at each step, a built-in push-button switch, and a panel-mount design. It comes with a soft-touch knob with an arrow indicat...

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-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-DFR0054 | Brand: DFRobot

A 300° analog rotation potentiometer sensor with a Gravity interface for plug-and-play connection to Arduino and other microcontrollers. Rotate the knob to output a variable analog voltage — useful for position-depend...

SKU: AF-5628 | Brand: Adafruit

A compact, self-centering analogue thumbstick with a feel and size similar to Nintendo Joy-Con joysticks. It uses two 10kΩ potentiometers (one for each axis) to provide proportional X/Y analogue output, plus a centre-...

SKU: SF-COM-15141 | Brand: SparkFun

Rotary encoders can be used similarly to potentiometers. The difference being that an encoder has full rotation without limits (It just goes round and round). They output gray code so that you can tell how much and in...

SKU: SF-COM-14624 | Brand: SparkFun

A panel-mount rotary potentiometer with a 100 kΩ logarithmic taper. Turn the knob and the resistance changes smoothly — ideal for volume controls and other audio applications where a logarithmic response matches human...

SKU: SF-COM-27883 | Brand: SparkFun

The ENS22S001 is a high-quality mechanical rotary encoder from Cooka, offering 64 pulses per revolution with standard quadrature (A/B) output. Fully sealed and rated IP65, it's built for reliable operation in harsh en...

SKU: SF-COM-27884 | Brand: SparkFun

The CS19D128B is a high-quality magnetic rotary encoder from Cooka, offering smooth, low-friction rotation with 128 pulses per revolution and no detent positions. Pressing the shaft activates a built-in push switch. ...

SKU: EF-EF04085 | Brand: ElecFreaks

Octopus analog rotation brick is a 10K potentiometer module. Rotating the knob to change its resistance can realize voltage division while providing analog signals to the analog input IO ports of micro-controller. ...

SKU: EF-EF04041 | Brand: ElecFreaks

Octopus Electronic Bricks, you can use them to build electronics projects just as easy as piling bricks. By using Octopus electronic bricks, you may connect Arduino/Freaduino compatible boards easily with various d...

SKU: AF-3102 | Brand: Adafruit

A compact analogue joystick with two 10kΩ potentiometers and a spring-return mechanism. Unlike arcade-style joysticks that use clicking switches, this joystick provides smooth, proportional analogue output across a fu...

SKU: DF-DFR0058 | Brand: DFRobot

This Arduino Rotation Potentimeter Sensor is a multi-ring rotation sensor. It is based on multi-turn precision potentiometer. It can rotate upto 10 laps. The voltage can be subdivided into 1024 copies. This sens...
