Question

What is the highest rate of rotation for the Rotary Motion Sensor?

Answer

There are two resolutions for Rotary Motion Sensors. Low resolution and High resolution which leads to 4 times as many pulses for a given rotation. The max rotational speed is higher with the low resolution setting.

Max angular speed with Low resolution setting: 22 revolutions/s

Max angular speed with High resolution setting: 5 revolutions/s
