Overview:
- Step counter, wheel encoder for motors
- serves to detect the position and rotational speed of a motor
- consists of an optical beam sensor (opto switch, phototransistor) and a slotted disk
- is connected to a microcontroller with an enclosed three-pole pin header
- the beam sensor detects missing slits and generates a pulse train from them
- outputs 5V when the beam is blocked (0V when beam is unblocked)
- Power supply: 5V
- Output signal: digital
- Reading frequency: up to 100KHz
- Outer diameter of slotted disk: 26mm
- PCB dimensions: 22*20mm
