A typical rotary encoder has three or more leads, wherein the common lead goes to ground. The rotary encoder is an easy, efficient and inexpensive device for creating directional rotation in digital format.
Here is the solution based on Raspi using a rotary encoder to drive a stepper motor. Rotary encoders are used in various applications that require precise but unlimited shaft rotation, including industrial controls, robotics, special-purpose photographic lenses, computer input devices (such as optomechanical mice and trackballs), controlled stress rheometers and rotating radar platforms. 1: Controlling stepper motor using rotary encoder: Author’s prototype Output of the incremental encoder provides information about the motion of the shaft, which is further processed elsewhere into information such as speed, distance and position. Output of the absolute encoder indicates the current position of the shaft, making it an angle transducer. There are two main types: absolute and incremental (relative). 1.Ī rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electromechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or an axle to analogue or digital code. It consists of a Raspberry Pi (Raspi) board, 5-pin rotary encoder, 5V stepper motor and an L293D motor driver. Presented here is a project for controlling stepper motor using rotary encoder.
