The Quadrature Encoder Phidget interfaces with any 5V quadrature encoder. A quadrature encoder is the most commonly used feedback device for a DC or stepper motor. With an encoder, you can keep track of how far your motor has turned, which then allows you to control the position and velocity in your code. This Phidget connects to your computer through a VINT Hub. Features: Works with all 0-5V quadrature encoders - read incremental encoders with line driver, open collector, or push-pull output circuits Read at speeds of up to 100,000 quadrature cycles per second Power Saving Options - Turn off your encoder using your program when the device is not turning. When the encoder is not being powered, this board draws 20μA of current.
