Rotary Encoder

Original price was: $9.00.Current price is: $7.50.

A rotary encoder is an excellent tool for detecting rotational movement, and its integration with Arduino allows for creative projects, such as creating custom input devices, controlling motors, or adding navigational controls to interfaces. By reading the encoder states, one can accurately determine both the direction and the magnitude of rotation.

Description

The rotary encoder can count the pulse outputting times during the process of rotation in positive and reverse direction by rotating. This rotating counting is unlimited, not like potential counting. It can be restored to initial state to count from 0.

Connections:

  1. Connect the VCC pin of the rotary encoder to the 5V pin on the Arduino.
  2. Connect the GND pin of the rotary encoder to the GND pin on the Arduino.
  3. Connect the Output A pin to one of the Arduino’s digital pins (e.g., pin 2).
  4. Connect the Output B pin to another digital pin (e.g., pin 3).
