## Description

The Adafruit I2C STEMMA QT Rotary Encoder Breakout comes with a 24-detent rotary encoder with push-switch pre-soldered, so you can start twisting right away. An onboard microcontroller running Adafruit's seesaw firmware handles all pulse tracking, debouncing, and pin management — simply read encoder values over I2C. With STEMMA QT / Qwiic connectors, you can make solderless I2C connections to any compatible microcontroller, from Arduino to Raspberry Pi. The board also features six 0.1"-spaced breakout pads for breadboard use, and works with both 3.3V and 5V power and logic. Key Features Pre-Soldered Encoder – 24-detent rotary encoder with push-switch included and ready to use Seesaw I2C Interface – Onboard microcontroller handles all encoder tracking and debouncing automatically STEMMA QT / Qwiic Connectors – Solderless I2C connection with daisy-chain support Built-in NeoPixel – Programmable RGB LED for customisable visual feedback, controlled over I2C Interrupt Pin – Configurable INT output pulses low on rotation or button press 3V & 5V Compatible – Works with both 3.3V and 5V power and logic levels Status LEDs – Green power LED and red INT LED for easy monitoring Breadboard-Friendly – Six 0.1"-spaced breakout pads for traditional wiring Ideal For Menu navigation, volume control, and parameter adjustment interfaces Quick prototyping — encoder is pre-soldered and ready to use out of the box Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and CircuitPython projects STEMMA QT / Qwiic sensor and control chains Package Contents 1× Adafruit I2C STEMMA QT Rotary Encoder Breakout with pre-soldered encoder Tip: STEMMA QT cable is not included. Connect with any STEMMA QT / Qwiic compatible cable for a solderless setup. Resources Adafruit I2C Rotary Encoder Guide Arduino Seesaw Library (GitHub) CircuitPython Seesaw Library (GitHub)
