Easy to use and integrate: compact module format is ideal for breadboards and small PCBs, with a round knob cap for immediate manual operation. Broad compatibility: designed to work with common 3.3V and 5V microcontroller platforms, enabling simple integration with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other development boards. Ready for rapid prototyping: the round knob cap provides a familiar, comfortable grip and reduces setup time for demos and tests. Key attributes Functionality: incremental rotary encoder with detented rotation and a pushbutton switch, all on a single development friendly module. Compatibility: suitable for standard microcontroller projects and development boards that use 3.3V or 5V logic levels. Size and form: compact module with a round knob cap, designed for easy handling and integration into small projects and breadboard layouts. Material and construction: round knob cap included for immediate use and comfortable operation. Performance: reliable EC11 encoder performance with standard output signals suitable for digital readouts and control interfaces. What you get EC11 Rotary Encoder Module with Round Knob Cap suitable for brick sensor development and general control applications. The module provides access to the EC11's rotational outputs (CLK and DT) and the push switch (SW), enabling straightforward wiring to a microcontroller. Applications and use cases Audio control and volume adjustment: use the knob to finely adjust volume, menu brightness, or other real time parameters in audio projects and DIY audio devices. Menu navigation and parameter tuning: browse menus and adjust settings in embedded projects, control panels, or portable devices that require intuitive user input. Test rigs and prototyping: integrate the encoder into development boards for user interface testing, product demos, or prototype hardware where compact and reliable input is needed. Notes for use Typical wiring involves VCC, GND, CLK, DT, and SW connections to your microcontroller. Check your specific module label for pin and labeling. The EC11 provides incremental rotation signals; software should interpret CLK and DT transitions to determine direction and steps, with SW used for selection or confirmation as needed. While designed for common development environments, verify voltage levels on your board to ensure compatibility with 3.3V or 5V logic as appropriate. This description reflects the EC11 Rotary Encoder Module with Round Knob Cap as a compact, dependable input device for development and prototyping, offering tactile rotation, a usable push button, and broad compatibility with standard microcontroller platforms.
