The Absolute Binary Rotary Encoder is a mechanical encoder capable of rotating a full 360° in both the clockwise and counterclockwise directions without limits. This device can also relate its current position relative to one of sixteen points on the encoder.Sample code for the Propeller is available.

Features:

• 6-pin DIP module is ready for breadboard or through-hole projects
• 10kΩ pull-down resistor included on each output pin
• Full 360° rotation with positional feedback

Key Specifications:

• Power requirements: 3.3 to 5 VDC
• Communication: 4-pin parallel binary output
• Dimensions: 0.8 x 0.75 x 0.73 in (20.32 x 19.05 x 18.67 mm)
• Operating temp range: +32 to +158°F (0 to +70°C)
