Mini Rotary Encoder w/ Push Button Breakout Board

What is it?

The Rotary Encoder with Momentary Push Button Breakout Board is a versatile and compact electronic module designed to provide precise and reliable rotational input and push-button functionality for a wide range of applications. This breakout board combines the convenience of a rotary encoder and a momentary push button in a single integrated solution, making it an ideal choice for various interactive projects.

The rotary encoder of this breakout board allows for accurate and incremental rotational input. It features a durable and smooth rotary shaft that can be easily turned in either clockwise or counterclockwise directions, providing a tactile and responsive user experience.

The integrated momentary push button adds an additional input functionality, enabling users to execute specific actions or trigger events with a simple press. This button is designed to be highly reliable and responsive, ensuring seamless interaction in diverse applications such as menu selection, mode switching, confirming choices, or triggering specific actions.

Whether you are building a user interface for a digital device, designing a control panel for a machine, or creating an interactive installation, the Rotary Encoder with Momentary Push Button Breakout Board provides a reliable and efficient solution for capturing precise rotational input and integrating push-button interactions.

This Rotary Encoder breakout board has 4 inputs:

• A
• B
• BTN
• GND

A and B are the outputs of the 2-bit gray code of the rotary encoder, while BTN is the output of the momentary push button mechanism. You can connect A, B and BTN to any digital input pins of a microcontroller and use open source libraries such as: Rotary Encoder Arduino Library
