I'm trying to stick a shaft encoder on one of the wheels of my
robot. In a search for the best way to do this, my current idea is to use a
hall effect sensor, as has been recommended to me in the past.  I've got a
couple questions...  First, where can I get a couple, and how much are they
going to cost me?  I saw them in an All Electronics catalog, which I have
managed to lose.  :-)  Second, do I just connect power, ground, and the
signal output straight to the handy board?  No fancy hookups or circuitry
needed?

If I can actually get my hands on one of them, it sounds like a good
way to go.  If not, my second option is to use an optical encoder, which
would be more of a nuisance to install.

There is a wiring diagram for a typical Hall Effect sensor included in the sensors/motors notes on the web site. -F (28 years ago, 11-Jun-96, to lugnet.robotics.handyboard)

Hi Ya, I'm looking at the Digi-Key catalog (also availible at (URL) and they have several flavors of rotary encoders from $3.38 (24 pulses/360 degree mechanical encoder) to $41.20 (128 pulses/360 degree optical encoder) with the cheapest optical (...)
