Electronics are no good if you can't connect them up. Usually, hobbyist systems such as Arduinos, Raspberry Pis, and components compatible with them use standard 0.1 inch pitch connectors. In the prototyping phase, we usually use jumpers such as these to bridge connections. These ribbon cable jumpers can be torn off so that each bunch is just the number of…

In the prototyping phase, we usually use jumpers such as these to bridge connections. Can't decide what lengths you need, or need a variety of lengths? Go with these!
This optical encoder is a cost-effective way to implement basic feedback to control motors and works well with this encoder wheel. Fret not, if you have a different motor, you could laser cut or 3D print a similar encoder wheel and this sensor will work just the same! It utilizes an Optointerruptor, which is a light based switch. The slits…
