Quadrature Encoder Phidget

The ENC1001 interfaces with any 5V quadrature encoder. A quadrature encoder is the most commonly used feedback device for a DC or stepper motor. With an encoder, you can keep track of the rotation angle of your motor, which then allows you to control the position and velocity in your code. This Phidget connects to your computer through a VINT Hub.

Features

• Works with all 0-5V push-pull quadrature encoders
• Read at speeds of up to 250,000 quadrature cycles per second
• Supports data rates of up to 1000 Hz
• Save power by disabling the encoder output when not in use
