Phidgets - Input Sensors - Phidget Encoder

Phidgets are an easy to use set of building blocks for low cost sensing and control from your PC. Using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) as the basis for all Phidgets, the complexity is managed behind an easy to use and robust Application Programming Interface (API). Applications can be developed quickly in Visual Basic, VBA (Microsoft Access and Excel), LabView, Java, Delphi, C and C++.

PhidgetEncoder

The PhidgetEncoder is intended to be used as a human interface, not as a device to measure shaft speed of motors or pulleys.

If you are looking for an encoder to measure shaft speed, have a look at the 1057 PhidgetEncoder HighSpeed.

The PhidgetEncoder uses a two-bit mechanical encoder with a built-in momentary-action pushbutton switch. It returns 80 counts for 360 degrees of rotation.
