## Description

This breakout makes the ANO rotary encoder wheel much easier to use in a breadboard or wired prototype. The encoder is a distinctive navigation control, with a clicky scroll-wheel feel reminiscent of early iPod interfaces.The board converts the encoder’s unusual pin set into a straightforward header strip, and this version comes with the encoder already soldered in place.There are no pull-up or pull-down resistors on the PCB, so use your microcontroller’s button and rotary encoder library or hardware support to interface with the pins. You’ll need 7 GPIO total: 5 button inputs and 2 rotary encoder pins.Two COMmon pins are also provided and can be set to ground or VCC. They are usually tied to ground so you can use your microcontroller’s internal pull-ups; Adafruit’s example code uses GPIO for the COM pins and sets them as outputs for simpler wiring, but they can also be wired directly.

**Product Type:** Rotary Encoder Breakout
