Rotation & Encoder Sensors

SKU: LB-LR0024 | Brand: Little Bird

The rotary encoder is an electro-mechanical switch. Its output signal can be used to determine the direction that its knob is being rotated. Not only that, but it is also capable of continuous rotation, unlike a regul...

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...

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-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: 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: PI-COM-B003 | Brand: Pimoroni

If you want to be a smooth operator then analog input is essential! This mini operators' joystick uses two 10KΩ potentiometers and a spring-back system for the X and Y axes making it a great input devi...

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-SEN-10313 | Brand: SparkFun

The RPI-1031 is a 4-directional tilt sensor that detects orientation using internal infrared emitters and detectors. Unlike simple single-axis tilt switches, this sensor can distinguish between multiple orientations, ...

SKU: SF-BOB-11040 | Brand: SparkFun

The SparkFun LED RingCoder Breakout provides a visual position indicator for rotary encoders. Two 8-bit shift registers drive a circular LED bargraph that displays the virtual position of the encoder as it turns, givi...

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...

SKU: SF-SEN-12617 | Brand: SparkFun

Knowing where your robot is can be very important! The RedBot Wheel Encoder allows you to track the number of revolutions each wheel has made. This sensor works by detecting the movement of small teeth connected to a ...
