This multi - ring rotation sensor for Arduino is based on a multi - turn precision potentiometer. It can rotate up to 10 laps and divides the voltage into 1024 copies, giving you highly accurate readings. If the rotation degree doesn't exceed 3600 degrees, it can double as a simple encoder. The Gravity series, designed for Arduino sensors, shields, and modules, features a plug - and - play interface. The IO Sensor Expansion Shield is a perfect fit for connecting this sensor to your Arduino. What's more, it operates at 3.3V, making it compatible with Raspberry Pi, Intel Edison, Joule, and Curie. Included in the shipping are one Rotation Potentimeter Sensor V2 and one Analog Sensor Cable. For more details, check the Wiki (Analog Rotation Sensor V2).
Using this sensor is easy. First, connect it to your Arduino using the provided Analog Sensor Cable. If you want an even better connection, use the IO Sensor Expansion Shield. You can start rotating the sensor, and it will give you accurate voltage readings. Remember, if you rotate it more than 3600 degrees, it won't work as a simple encoder. When it comes to maintenance, keep it in a dry place and avoid any physical damage. Also, since it can work with multiple devices like Raspberry Pi and Intel Edison, make sure to double - check the device's power supply to ensure it provides 3.3V. If you need more help, refer to the Wiki for the Analog Rotation Sensor V2.
