Need Help with Rotary Encoder B-106-23983
Posted: Sun Nov 18, 2018 10:47 pm
Hi, I'm currently doing a project using the rotary encoder to measure the angle it rotate for a robot arm, my main controller is Raspberry Pi 3 B+. I'm quite new with rotary encoder and I'm worried that i might damaged the encoder, so i may have a few question that i wanted to ask.
1. Is B106 Rotary encoder suitable for measuring angle?
2, How to make sure the encoder condition is okay?
3. Can i directly rotate the shaft on the encoder with hand?
4. In the datasheet did mention of the output requires a pull up, what if i didn't connect a pull-up and directly connect the output to the pin?
5. If i ignore and didn't connect the OUTZ, will it affect my output?
6. Is there any tutorial on Python coding on how to measure angle?
Thanks in advance.
