Question

What is ENCODER

Accepted Answer

An encoder is a device used to convert information from one format to another, typically used in electronics to convert analog signals into digital signals.

Encoders are commonly used in robotics to track the position of motors and other moving parts.
There are different types of encoders such as optical encoders, magnetic encoders, and rotary encoders.
Encoders can provide feedback for closed-loop control systems to ensure accurate positioning.
They can also be used in communication systems to convert analog signals into digital data for transmission.
Examples of encoders include absolute encoders, incremental encoders, and linear encoders.
