This means that solid-state rotary measurement technology is for the first time able to replace unreliable rotary encoders without any need for new software programming in existing designs ...

Rotary encoders are pretty interesting pieces of technology. They’re a solid way to accurately measure rotation including the direction. [David] recently wrote some software to handle these i… ...

Spinning the rotary encoder cycles through a menu of programs on the 16×2 LCD, and the key map just updates automatically for the chosen program.

Versions with PROFINET interface are new to the HEIDENHAIN rotary encoder program. These encoders support the functions of Conformance Class 4 (full scaling and preset functions) and offer ...

HEIDENHAIN is meeting the market demand for high-speed, high-resolution modular rotary encoders for motion feedback with the launch of the ERO 2000 series encoder.

Encoders are an important part in automation assembly, as in this example of a HEIDENHAIN rotary encoder inside a Stausak robotics arm.

Microchip has introduced a touch controller family for ‘knob-on-display’ (KoD) human-machine interfaces. These interfaces add a physical ‘clicky’ knob to the front of a display without traditional ...
