If you want to build a project where the machine can control the speed of the conveyer belt as well as the direction of movement, a rotary encoder is a must-have component. Keeping this in mind, Robu.in is introducing the brand new orange 100 PPR 2-Phase Incremental Optical Rotary Encoder at a competitive price.
A rotary encoder is a type of position sensor which is used for determining the angular position of a rotating shaft. It generates an electrical signal, either analog or digital, according to the rotational movement.
This is a 100PPR resolution optical encoder with quadrature outputs for increment counting. It will give 400 transitions per rotation between outputs A and B. A quadrature decoder is required to convert the pulses to an up count. The Encoder is built to Industrial grade.
The Encoder comes with a Standard 1.5 m cable length which can be extended with extra cable if needed.
Consider Adding Pull up resistor to both the A and B phases of the encoder output to avoid the effect of interference in output and get the precise logical output value from the encoder Also adding a pull-up resistor to all phase output lines protects the open collector output-triode from damage due to direct Vcc supply short circuit.
Note: A sample tutorial code has been given in the Description Section.
Power and Input Terminal Assignments:
| Terminal Name | Wire Color | Description |
| Phase A | White | Quadrature encoded output A |
| Phase B | Green | Quadrature encoded output B |
| VCC | Red | VCC should be connected to +ve 5V of supply |
| GND | Black | The ground should be connected to negative the supply |
| Shield | Golden | The shield should be connected to GND |
Shielding is important. At a minimum, the cable should be protected either by a foil jacket with a drain wire or by a braided-wire shield that is grounded. For very sensitive applications or high-EMI environments, foil jacketed wires in combination with an overall braided-wire shield around the cable should be used to avoid interference and precise encoder output.

Sir i have a problem in coding, You have not cleared the coding on encoded pin MSB and LSB. The problems on codings should be verified and the encoder is perfect. Im happy with the product
