New surface-mount optical sensors increase vertical headroom, enabling more flexible encoder and position-sensing designs across industrial and consumer electronics.

SPIE Photonics West sees the global optics and photonics community come together to present and discuss the latest industry ...

Most CES tech is still on the horizon, but these products are already real, priced and (mostly) ready to ship.

Abstract: Condition monitoring of rotating machinery under low- and variable-speed conditions is a hot and difficult issue. Compared with vibration signals, optical encoder signals have the advantages ...

Megatron offers compact rotary encoders to ensure flexibility for design engineers.The compact MBA magnetic absolute encoder has a housing diameter of just 12.7 mm, and shaft diameters are available ...

This C library reads rotation data and switch presses from rotary encoders. It supports mechanical encoders like KY-040 (HW-040), or EC11. It uses GPIO_IRQ interrupts for automatic event detection - ...

Abstract: This paper presents an absolute capacitive rotary encoder using a sample-and-hold demodulator (SHD) to reduce interference between sine and cosine channels. The capacitive encoder measures ...
