36O DEGREE ROTATIONAL ENCODER

A 360-degree rotational encoder is also known as a shaft encoder. M274 360 Degree Rotational Encoder Module Brick Sensor is an incremental electro-mechanical device. It converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to digital code. Moreover, a 360-degree Rotational encoder provides an indication of how much the knob rotates and in what direction it is rotating in. As a result, this module is commonly used for stepper and servo motor control. These modules are also used to control devices like digital potentiometers. M274   encoder provides 360-degree free movement, thus measuring the axial movement and direction. This is one of the cheapest and robust encoders available nowadays.

PIN DESCRIPTION:

• CLK: Pin A
• DT: Pin B
• S: No push switch connection
• + : Power
• GND: Grounding

A 360-degree rotational encoder output provides information about the motion of the shaft, which is further processed in processors or microcontrollers into information such as speed, distance, and position. This encoder is a great device for robotics applications. These modules easily interfaced with your Arduino Microcontroller or Raspberry Pi so as to control the stepper and servo motor. By rotating the rotary encoder, counted in the positive direction and the reverse direction providing each circle with 20 pulses. During rotation of the output pulse frequency, unlike rotary potentiometer counter, in which species rotation counts are not limited. The rotary encoder buttons reset to their initial state, thus starting counting from 0.
