Encoder Guide
Encoders measure the movement of mechanical parts. This guide discusses how encoders work, encoder interfaces, types of encoders, and more.
Description:
This is the faster version of the ENC1000_0 quadrature encoder. The ENC1001 interfaces with any 5V quadrature encoder. A quadrature encoder is the most commonly used feedback device for a DC or stepper motor. With an encoder, you can keep track of the rotation angle of your motor, which then allows you to control the position and velocity in your code. This Phidget connects to your computer through a VINT Hub.
