The operation of the circuit in Figure 1 is simple. When the rotary encoder turns clockwise, the resistance from the wiper to terminal B1 of the digital potentiometer, RWB 1 , increments until the ...

The 700 Series of pushbutton mechanical encoders/potentiometers offers the option of using either digital or analog circuitry in the same 0.890-inch package. The Series also features an integrated ...

Technical details on the operation, benefits, and use of cable-type position transducers are available free of charge from SpaceAge Control. The String Technical details on the operation, benefits, ...

While the “M” in MIDI stands for “musical”, it’s possible to use this standard for other things as well. [s-ol] has been working on a VJ setup (mixing video instead of music) using various ...

LSI Computer Systems (LSI/CSI) has created a family of 63 tap (6bit) digital potentiometers for direct connection to quadrature decoders, push buttons, GPIOs or SPI serial controls. Debounce circuits ...

The Model 510 mechanical encoder is designed to replace less precise potentiometers and more costly optical encoders in consumer and light industrial applications. These include volume, motor, and ...

Gear Potentiometers are also called Thumbwheel Potentiometers. Let’s investigate them. There are many varieties of compact gear potentiometers available. Most of them are single and dual – this time ...

We’re all familiar with getting feedback from a rotating shaft, for which we usually employ a potentiometer or encoder. But there’s another device that, while less well-known, has some advantages that ...

High-resolution string encoders give engineers a compact, flexible alternative to LVDTs, optical and rotary encoders, and potentiometers. An encoder from Space Age Controls, Palmdale, Calif., for ...

Brief tutorial video details the background for the development and varied applications of switch, circuit breaker, potentiometer and encoder environmental protection sealing boots. Types, conditions, ...
