Gravity: Analog Rotation Potentiometer Sensor for Arduino - Rotation 3600°

The Gravity Analog Rotation Potentiometer Sensor is a multi-turn precision sensor capable of measuring up to 10 full rotations (3600 degrees). Featuring a standard plug-and-play Gravity interface, it is an ideal choice for makers, students, and hobbyists requiring accurate rotary angle sensing or encoder functionality in robotics and control projects.

Multi-turn 3600-degree sensing

Built around a precision multi-turn potentiometer, this sensor measures up to 10 complete laps (3600 degrees) of rotation. This makes it well suited for tracking continuous multi-turn mechanical movements.

High-accuracy analogue feedback

The sensor subdivides the output voltage into 1024 divisions, delivering higher reading accuracy across its entire 10-turn travel range.

Rotary encoder alternative

The unit can serve as a simple absolute encoder for applications that do not exceed 3600 degrees of rotation, offering straightforward position tracking without complex pulse counting.

Broad platform compatibility

Designed with the Gravity interface for seamless plug-and-play connection, this module pairs directly with IO Sensor Expansion Shields. Operating at 3.3V, it is compatible with Arduino boards as well as Raspberry Pi, Intel Edison, Joule, and Curie platforms.

Kit contents

The package includes one Rotation Potentiometer Sensor V2 module and one compatible analogue sensor cable.
