The Gravity Rotation Sensor V2 is arduino compatible multi-ring rotation sensor. It is based on multi-turn precision potentiometer. It can rotate upto 10 laps. The voltage can be subdivided into 1024 copies. With the usage of special sensors expansion can be achieved accurately.
My students were supposed to use this cheap sensor in a position control final project, however I realized how easy is to damage the sensor. The sensor was not as robust as an ordinary potentiometer but it works great. I could not find enough information about the sensor design (datasheet) in order to know how the sensor actually works and the leakage of information causes to damage the sensor easily.

very low quality
We have bought 4 pieces. To of them (housing) were brake during the mounting process. (without any extreme situation). The other two after succesfull mounting it was working for 10 minutes and then the smallest output value it gives were 6-10 instead of the 0.

Quality product
Just a bit disappointed with the pinout not being industry standard for pots.
