Description
Excerpted from the website:
- In the simplest terms, an incremental rotary encoder provides information about the instantaneous position of a rotating shaft. It does this by producing one square wave cycle per increment of shaft movement. This increment is referred to as the resolution of the encoder and is built directly into the internal hardware of the device. A resolution of 360 means that 360 square wave cycles will be produced in one complete rotation of the shaft. By counting the number of cycles, one can tell the position of the shaft, relative to it’s starting position. In our example, 90 cycles means that the shaft is now at a position 90 degrees from where it started.
