The Absolute Binary Rotary Encoder is a mechanical encoder capable of rotating a full 360° in both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions without limits. This device can also relate its current position relative to one of sixteen points on the encoder. The Absolute Binary Rotary Encoder is compatible with any Parallax microcontroller and sample code for the BASIC Stamp 2 and Propeller chip are available.

Features:

• Full 360° rotation with positional feedback
• 6-pin DIP module is ready for breadboard or through-hole projects
• Built-in 10kΩ pull-down resistor included on each output pin

Application Ideas:

• Multi-positional Selection Switch
• Position and Motion Control
• Temperature Adjustment
• Volume Control

Key Specifications:

• Power requirements: Supply voltage = output signal voltage. Set supply voltage for compatibility with your microcontroller’s inputs
• Communication: 4-pin parallel binary output
• Dimensions: 0.8 x 0.75 x 0.73 in (20.32 x 19.05 x 18.67 mm)
• Operating temp range: +32 to +158°F (0 to +70°C)
• Made in USA
