I want to know if anyone of you have used it with Arduino or if you know how to get accurate data from the device, i need to obtain speed from a shaft. Your help is welcome ! Thanks!!
Best regards from Chile!
There are many ways to do it; the best solution depends on the specific application:

a) are you trying to measure speed or position?
b) do you care about direction?
c) how fast will you be spinning the encoder, and
d) what's the CPR of the encoder?
