Re: Would this Encoder work? and Encoder Recommendations

I purchased one of these the other day for a personal project.
I wanted 360 PPR, and relatively low cost, so this fit the bill.

When it arrived, I was STUNNED by the build quality!! It is a VERY well built encoder! That said, it is a lot larger than most encoders of this style. It is approx. 1.5" dia. and approx. 1.4" long. I also found that using 4.7K ohm pull up resistors with it made it very stable with my Arduino.

BTW, you can get this in a couple more PPR values.
