[sdiy] sin/cos pot

[Ullrich Peter]

Hi!

Maybe the Bourns ACE Encoder could fit here: absolute encoder, 128 states per revolution, no hard steps
https://www.bourns.com/pdfs/ace.pdf

about 5pounds

Issues I see with a sin/cos pot;

Use of 2 x ADC channels (more expensive than logic inputs)

Slightly more complex software for reading/processing the sin/cos outputs.

Advantge; you get an absolute position.



if you want more resolution from a regular grey code rotary encoder. you can use double edge triggering.

So instead of just picking the rising edge on one channel, use both edges, this will give you 48PPQN with a 24PPQN encoder.

I guess, though not tested, you could go a step further and use edge detection on both channels and both edges on both channels giving you 96PPQN from a 24PPQN encoder, though I would expect switch bounce to cause more of a problem at this resolution.

Downside; no absolute position.

I also found them at www.adimpex.it<http://www.adimpex.it/> for 1.15€/pcs. but they have a minimum order amount of 200€ :-/
still looking for a better sample source.

Anybody has an idea what the part number for the continuous alpha pots is?

I just asked the other day for an encoder alternative with higher resolution, they would be great!

Maybe I'd have to ask my distributor in taiwan about them.

Thanks for sharing, didn't know such a pot exists.

How would you tell the direction of the movement?



BTW, $15 ... hm ... needs quantities I'd guess ...
