Description
A rotary encoder, also called a shaft encoder, is an electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to digital output signals.
Rotary encoders are used in a wide range of applications that require monitoring or control, or both, of mechanical systems, including industrial controls, robotics, photographic lenses, computer input devices .
Features:
- continuous rotary encoder switch with built-in push button
- Can be used for data entry as with modern in-car CD players, for volume & on/off control or data selection via LCD
- Simple to use with PIC or ATMEL microcontrollers (Arduino-like Microcontrollers).
