Rotation Sensor

ID: 1109_0

This rotary potentiometer has 300° of travel and connects to an Analog Input or VINT Hub port.

Replaced by HIN1101_0

Replaced by the HIN1101 - Dial Phidget. It requires a VINT Hub to use, but allows for continuous rotation.

The 1109 can be rotated 300 degrees and outputs a voltage ratio between 0 and 1 that varies linearly with angle. The maximum resistance of the potentiometer is 10K ohm.

Comes packaged with

Functional

Interface Boards and Hubs

This sensor can be read by any Phidget with an Analog Input or VINT Hub port. It will connect to either one using the included Phidget cable. VINT Hub ports can behave just like Analog Inputs, but have the added flexibility of being able to be used as digital inputs, digital outputs, or ports to communicate with VINT devices. For more information about VINT, see the VINT Overview page.

Phidget Cables

This sensor comes with its own Phidget cable to connect it to an InterfaceKit or Hub, but if you need extras we have a full list down below. You can solder multiple cables together in order to make even longer Phidget cables, but you should be aware of the effects of having long wires in your system.

Getting Started

Welcome to the 1109 user guide! In order to get started, make sure you have the following hardware on hand:


Next, you will need to connect the pieces:

1109 0 Connecting The Hardware.jpg
  1. Connect the 1109 to the HUB0000 with the Phidget cable.
  2. Connect the HUB0000 to your computer with the USB cable.


Now that you have everything together, let's start using the 1109!

Using the 1109

Phidget Control Panel

In order to demonstrate the functionality of the 1109, we will connect it to the HUB0000, and then run an example using the Phidget Control Panel on a Windows machine.


The Phidget Control Panel is available for use on both macOS and Windows machines. If you would like to follow along, first take a look at the getting started guide for your operating system:


Linux users can follow the getting started with Linux guide and continue reading here for more information about the 1109.

First Look

After plugging in the 1109 into the HUB0000, and the HUB0000 into your computer, open the Phidget Control Panel. You will see something like this:

HUB0000 Panel.jpg


The Phidget Control Panel will list all connected Phidgets and associated objects, as well as the following information:

  • Serial number: allows you to differentiate between similar Phidgets.
  • Channel: allows you to differentiate between similar objects on a Phidget.
  • Version number: corresponds to the firmware version your Phidget is running. If your Phidget is listed in red, your firmware is out of date. Update the firmware by double-clicking the entry.


The Phidget Control Panel can also be used to test your device. Double-clicking on an object will open an example.

Voltage Ratio Input

Double-click on a Voltage Ratio Input object in order to run the example:

General information about the selected object will be displayed at the top of the window. You can also experiment with the following functionality:

  • Modify the change trigger and/or data interval value by dragging the sliders. For more information on these settings, see the data interval/change trigger page.
  • Select the 1109 from the Sensor Type drop-down menu. The Sensor Value will now return a value between 0 and 1. A Sensor Value of 0 correspodns to the 1109 being rotated fully clockwise. A Sensor Value of 1 corresponds to the 1109 being rotated fully counterclockwise.


Technical Details

General

The maximum resistance of the potentiometer is 10kΩ.

Phidget Cable

This device doesn't have an API of its own. It is controlled by opening a VoltageRatioInput channel on the Phidget that it's connected to. For a list of compatible Phidgets with VoltageRatio Inputs, see the Connection & Compatibility tab.

You can find details for the VoltageRatioInput API on the API tab for the Phidget that this sensor connects to.
