Mikroelektronika MIKROE-2549 Opto Encoder Click Board Linear Incremental Optical Sensor

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-2549):

Opto Encoder click is a linear incremental optical sensor/encoder click, which can be used for the movement or rotation encoding. Encoders of this type are widely used for many applications which involve precise detection of the position, speed, or rotational angle of an object. Rotary encoders are often used for various types of controllers on many different devices. Whether it be a rotary encoded knob controller or a rotation encoder on a motor shaft, the principle is the same - it includes an optical sensor, just like the one found on Opto Encoder click. Type: Optical. Applications: Automotive optical sensors, accurate position sensor for encoder, sensor for motion, speed, and direction, etc. On-board modules: TCUT1600X01 Tall Dome Dual Channel Transmissive Optical Sensor with Phototransistor Outputs. Key Features: The Opto Encoder click features a precise detection of the position, speed, or rotational angle of an object. It is able to detect the direction of the movement since it features two photo-sensing elements. Interface: GPIO. Input Voltage: 3.3V or 5V. Click board size: S (28.6 x 25.4 mm).
