Click Boards Catalog

Opto Encoder 3 Click is a linear incremental optical sensor/encoder click, which can be used for the movement or rotation encoding. The TCUT1800X01 sensor is equipped with one infrared LED with the wavelength of 950nm, and four phototransistors. Encoders of this type are widely used for many applications which involve precise detection of the position, speed, or rotational angle of an object. Rotary encoders are often used for various types of controllers on many different devices. Whether it be a rotary encoded knob controller or a rotation encoder on a motor shaft, the principle is the same - it includes an optical sensor, just like the one found on Opto Encoder 3 click.

Opto Encoder 3 click is supported by a mikroSDK compliant library, which includes functions that simplify software development. This Click board™ comes as a fully tested product, ready to be used on a system equipped with the mikroBUS™ socket.
