Mikroe MIKROE-2549 Opto Encoder click
Mikroe MIKROE-2549 Opto Encoder Click Board™ is used for movement or rotation encoding for applications involving precise detection of position, speed, or rotational angle. This linear incremental optical sensor/encoder click can be used for various device controllers. The operation is the same whether it be a rotary-encoded knob controller or a rotation encoder on a motor shaft. Mikroe MIKROE-2549 includes an optical sensor like on the Opto Encoder click.
This click board features the Vishay TCUT1600X01 transmissive optical sensor with phototransistor outputs. The sensor has one infrared LED with a wavelength of 950nm, and two phototransistors. The tall dome design allows more physical space, even for vertical signal encoding. The sensor is used in automotive applications, motion, speed, and direction sensors, for precise motor shaft positioning applications, knob encoder applications, and similar applications, where dual channel optical sensing can be utilized.
