Mikroelektronika MIKROE-3634 Linear Incremental Optical Sensor/Encoder, GPIO, 5V

Technical description of the product (MIKROE-3634):

MIKROE-3634. Opto Encoder 2 click is a linear incremental optical sensor/encoder click board, used for movement or rotation encoding. These encoders are widely used for applications requiring precise detection of position, speed, or rotational angle. Rotary encoders are common in various controllers, from knob controllers to motor shaft angle encoders. The principle is an optical sensor, similar to Opto Encoder 2 click. Type: Optical. Applications: Automotive optical sensors, accurate position sensor for encoders, motion, speed, and direction sensing. On-board modules: Reflective Surface Mount Optical Encoder from Avago Technologies. Key Features: Precise detection of position, speed, or rotational angle. Detects movement direction with two photo-sensing elements. Interface: GPIO. Click board size: S (28.6 x 25.4 mm). Input Voltage: 5V.
