Overview
This course teaches how to use rotary encoders with Arduino to control and measure the rotation of DC motors. By the end of the course, learners will be able to understand the operation of rotary encoders, create Arduino sketches to read values from rotary encoders, control servo motors with precision, and build a tachometer to read the RPM of a motor. The course uses a hands-on approach with practical examples and demonstrations. It is suitable for Arduino enthusiasts, robotics hobbyists, and anyone interested in learning about rotary encoders and their applications in electronics projects.
