CJMCU-111 Encoder Module

Description

Tutorial: How to use CJMCU-111

The CJMCU-111 is an encoder module that measures the rotation and number of turns of a motor or mechanism. Ideal for projects requiring precision in measuring angles and turns.

What you need

• CJMCU-111
• Arduino UNO
• Power cable
• 10kΩ resistor

Steps

1. 1. Connect the CJMCU-111 to the Arduino UNO using the following pins: VCC to 5V, GND to GND, D0 to pin 2.
2. 2. Connect the 10kΩ resistor between pin D0 and VCC.
3. 3. Upload the following sketch to Arduino.
4. 4. Connect the module to the motor or mechanism to be monitored.
5. 5. Run the code and check the values printed on the Serial Monitor console.
6. 6. Refer to the datasheet for further details on read frequencies.
7. 7. Adjust the read frequency based on your requirements.
8. 8. Test the module with different turns to ensure it works correctly.

Example code

```
#include <Encoder.h>

Encoder myEncoder(2);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  Serial.println(myEncoder.read());
}
```

Mini project

Build a simple robot that moves forward and backward, controlling the motor rotation with the CJMCU-111.

Common mistakes

• Forget to connect the 10kΩ resistor between D0 and VCC.
• Connect the pins incorrectly on the CJMCU-111.
• Do not configure the read frequency correctly.
• Do not use the Serial Monitor console to check the values.

Recommended accessories

• DC Motors
• Arduino UNO
• 10kΩ Resistor
• Power Cable
