Rotary Encoder Module

Rotary Encoder Module is a fantastic module for interfacing with electronics, which utilises photoelectric sensors and a specially-designed encoder wheel to determine the exact orientation of the rotatable knob. This allows for extremely easy interfacing with Microcontroller based projects, as you can simply turn the knob in either direction to scroll through a menu or similar interface, with the shaft also acting as a push-button to select the appropriate option.

This rotary encoder module is a full continuous 360° unlimited rotation encoder, with 20 pulses per revolution – or one pulse/activation per 18° of rotation. This makes it surprisingly accurate without being too sensitive, resulting in a simple but effective Input Control method. Of course, you can also choose to code your microcontroller with specific actions when the encoder is rotated or the push-button pressed, although the standard operations are typically the best choice for most standard Electronics project applications
