Description

The Elecrow CROWTAIL Rotary Angle Sensor 2.0 is a precision rotary potentiometer module designed for embedded systems and educational robotics. It translates a 300-degree mechanical rotation into a linear analog voltage signal, providing a straightforward method for measuring angular position, dial input, or control knob movement.

The module features a standard 10k ohm resistive element, ensuring compatibility with the analog input ranges of most 3.3V or 5V microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi (with ADC). Its CROWTAIL connector system simplifies wiring to Elecrow base shields, while the breakout pins allow for direct soldering or breadboard use in custom projects requiring manual control input or feedback.

Key Features

  • High-precision 10k ohm conductive plastic potentiometer for smooth, reliable angle detection.
  • Linear output characteristic ensures a direct voltage-to-angle relationship for simplified calibration.
  • CROWTAIL standardized 4-pin interface enables quick connection to Elecrow ecosystem boards.
  • Compact and lightweight PCB-mounted design ideal for space-constrained robotic joints or control panels.
  • Robust rotational life suitable for prototyping, educational kits, and moderate-duty user interface applications.
  • Wide operating voltage range compatible with both 3.3V and 5V logic systems.

Applications

  • Robotic joint angle feedback and servo motor position control systems.
  • User interface dials and control knobs for embedded audio equipment or parameter tuning.
  • Educational STEM kits for teaching analog sensor principles and microcontroller ADC reading.
  • Prototyping input devices for gaming controllers, sim racing wheels, or DJ equipment.
  • Precision adjustment mechanisms in DIY CNC machines or 3D printer control panels.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal of this rotary angle sensor?

The sensor outputs a linear analog voltage signal. As you rotate the shaft through its 300-degree range, the voltage on the signal pin changes proportionally, typically from near 0V to your supply voltage (VCC). This output can be directly read by any microcontroller's Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) pin.

Is this sensor compatible with standard Arduino boards, or only Crowduino?

Yes, it is fully compatible with standard Arduino boards and other 3.3V/5V microcontrollers like ESP32 or Raspberry Pi Pico. While it uses a CROWTAIL connector for plug-and-play with Elecrow shields, the module breaks out the standard three pins (VCC, GND, SIG) which can be connected directly to any board's power and an analog input pin.

What is the purpose of the 4th pin on the connector?

The 4-pin CROWTAIL connector includes VCC, GND, Signal (SIG), and a Not Connected (NC) pin. The NC pin is typically unused in this configuration. The connector standard allows for consistent orientation and compatibility across the CROWTAIL ecosystem, but only three wires are functionally required for operation.
