The MikroElektronika MIKROE-2549 Opto Encoder Click is a linear incremental optical sensor/encoder click, which can be used for the movement or rotation encoding. Encoders of this type are widely used for many applications which involve precise detection of the position, speed, or rotational angle of an object. The operation is the same whether it be a rotary encoder knob controller or a rotary encoder on a motor shaft. It includes an optical sensor found on the Opto Encoder click. The optical sensor is equipped with one infrared LED with the wavelength of 950nm and two phototransistors.
