Rotation sensor, encoder 20 pulses Okystar KY-040

The KY-040 rotation sensor is an incremental encoder. The encoder's task is to generate pulses corresponding to the rotational movement. The sensor detects clockwise and counter-clockwise rotation. The sensor is supplied with5 V.It sends out 20 pulses within a 360° radius.

Rotation sensor, 20 pulses encoder Okystar KY-040.

Product compatible withArduino.

In the network you can finda sample program for Arduino.

Thanks to the transducer used, the module sends signals determining the direction and range of rotation. Additionally, the module has a button, built in the encoder axis. The sensorhas a 5-pin connector with CLK, DT and SW digital outputs, which should be connected to the microcontroller outputs, e.g. Arduino.
