Hey guys,
I bought a few of these rotary encoder switches a while ago with intentions to use them for something I never did, and now have ideas of using them with a PIC on another project.
Jameco Electronics Opto & Illumination: BOURNS, INC.: PEC12-4225F-N0024
Problem is, I am having a bit of a rought time trying to figure out how they work, and that makes pondering how to decode the output even harder.
I was expecting them to hold the grey code output, but from what I can tell with my DMM, they just give a pulse as it is rotated, and when at rest, both terminals are open.
Is this correct?
Do they all operate like this?
