Lesson 14 Rotary Encoder
Introduction
Rotary encoder switch, or small rotary encoder, is a switch electronic component that has
a set of regular and strictly-sequenced pulses. The module supports functions such as
increase, decrease, turn pages, etc., by collaboration with a microcontroller. For example,
in daily life you can see page turning of the mouse, menu selection, volume adjustment of
speakers, temperature adjustment of toaster, frequency adjustment of medical equipment,
etc.
