I am trying to find encoders with exactly 16 detents per revolution for a good price. I ordered an encoder from Digi-Key (Panasonic # EVE-QDBRL416B , digi-key # P12423-ND), which is “16 pulses per revolution”, but I didn’t realize that this actually means 32 detents.
Does anybody have a suggestion as to where to look for an inexpensive 16-detent encoder? The weird thing is that the one I got is only a few bucks from Digi-Key, and the ones that actually have 16 detents cost about 4 times as much. I’m looking for 2-10 pieces, and I don’t want to spend 10 bucks each. Integrated pushbutton switch is optional.
Thanks
