Fermion 8421 - Horizontal encoder module - 16-position - DFRobot DFR0722

The8421 horizontalencodermodule is manufactured by DFRobot. It has16position options labeledfrom 0 to F. Data from the Fermion 8421 sensor is read out viadigitaloutputs-representing consecutive bits of the 8421 code (BCD). Unlike apotentiometer, the encoder does not require any additionalmemory, reference point or continuous motion counting function. The position can be read outat any time. The encoder is also characterized byincreased resistance to interferenceand reliability of data transmission. The product finds versatile use in widely understood industrial systems, designed to control the status of individual devices.

The contents of the kit with an encoder from DFRobot.

Scheme of connecting the encoder toDFRduinoboard, which is equivalent to popular Arduino. The board is not included in the kit, you can buy it separately in our shop.
