Rotation & Encoder Sensors

SKU: DF-SEN0686 | Brand: DFRobot

This circular flexible potentiometer is a membrane-based position sensor for adding low-profile rotary or angular input to space-constrained electronics. Instead of using a bulky mechanical rotary switch, it detects p...

SKU: SF-COM-29199 | Brand: SparkFun

This adjustable dual-gang potentiometer gives you two linked variable resistors on a single shaft, making it handy for interfaces where two channels need to move together. Turn the shaft and the resistance changes, so...

SKU: AF-6490 | Brand: Adafruit

This breakout carries the TMAG5273 A2, a low-power linear 3D Hall-effect sensor for measuring magnetic fields across the X, Y and Z axes. Its built-in 12-bit ADC provides axis readings over I2C, and there is also an i...

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: PI-COM1004 | Brand: Pimoroni

You'll find these rotary potentiometers in our Maker Essentials kit, but they're so useful we decided to offer them on their own! Pair them with something like our Explorer HAT Pro or Explorer pHAT to rea...

SKU: AF-5966 | Brand: Adafruit

Add a cool touch-screen rotary dial to your next build with the M5Stack M5Dial. The M5Dial integrates the necessary features and sensors for various smart home control applications as a versatile embedded development ...

SKU: AF-5454 | Brand: Adafruit

For projects that need a rotary encoder but need to keep it single-sided or need to avoid interrupting traces or devices on the other side, here's an all-SMT rotary encoder! It's a high-quality 30-detents encoder f...

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-SEN-28868 | Brand: SparkFun

This wind vane is used to indicate the direction from which the wind is blowing. Inside the vane are eight switches, each paired with a unique resistor, allowing a microcontroller to read direction based on the vane’s...
