About the Encoder óptico tipo 2 PCB

Encoder óptico tipo 2 is an open source PCB design by F-Iglesias, published on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board measuring 50 × 50 mm, with 5 components from 5 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the TCMT1103. By type, the board carries 2 resistors, 1 IC, 1 connector and 1 capacitor.

It belongs with the robotics & motion designs in this gallery.

From the project

A self-balancing robot I made in 2023 as final project for my electronics technical program in high-school.

It balances itself with a PID control, measuring the angle

You can see a video of the robot moving here

For this prototype I designed a simpler encoder, but since it was not able to read the direction in which the wheels rotated, it was useless for its purpose, so I discarded that design.

Sadly I lost all the photos I had, but here are two videos:
