EC11 Rotary Encoder Module

The DFRobot EC11 rotary encoder is a 360-degree rotary encoder that can be continuously rotated. The module has three signal terminals: Terminals A and B are encoder outputs, Terminal C is the button signal output when the dial is pressed. This module is perfect for navigating menus, for instance. It can also be used superbly for controlling and moving motors, similar to a handwheel on CNC machines. To read the encoder, there is an Arduino library that you can find under "Manage Libraries" when you search for Encoder.
