Product Overview
The rotary encoder module is designed to detect rotational movement and convert it into digital pulse signals. The operation is such that when the shaft is rotated, it generates two phase shifted output signals CLK and DT, thereby allowing detection of direction and number of steps. It also includes a built in push button switch that activates when the knob is pressed downward.
This module is suitable for menu navigation speed control parameter adjustment and automation input systems.
