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...

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-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-COM-11102 | Brand: SparkFun

This 1024 pulse per rotation rotary encoder outputs gray code which you can interpret using a microcontroller and find out which direction the shaft is turning and by how much. This allows you to add feedback to motor...

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...

SKU: AF-6311 | Brand: Adafruit

This breakout makes the ANO rotary encoder wheel much easier to use in a breadboard or wired prototype. The encoder is a distinctive navigation control, with a clicky scroll-wheel feel reminiscent of early iPod interf...
