{"title":"ANO Directional Navigation and Scroll Wheel Rotary Encoder","handle":"ano-directional-navigation-and-scroll-wheel-rotary-encoder","url":"/products/ano-directional-navigation-and-scroll-wheel-rotary-encoder","description":"The ANO Directional Navigation and Scroll Wheel Rotary Encoder combines a 5-way directional button pad with a rotary scroll wheel in a single, intuitive interface element. Inspired by classic click-wheel navigation, it provides a familiar and satisfying input experience for your projects.\n\nThis product is the encoder and button wheel element only — no breakout board is included. The pin-out is non-standard, so a breakout PCB is recommended for breadboard use, though you can solder directly to the pins if preferred.\n\nKey Features\n\n\n5-Way Directional Buttons – Up, down, left, right, and centre press\n\nRotary Scroll Wheel – Pulse-code rotary encoder for smooth scrolling\n\nCompact Form Factor – All-in-one navigation and selection input\n\nUniversal Compatibility – Works with any microcontroller that can read pulse-code rotary encoders\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nMenu navigation interfaces\nMedia player controls\nCustom input devices and controllers\nEmbedded systems requiring intuitive user input\n\n\n\nNote: This is the encoder/button wheel element only. A breakout PCB is recommended for breadboard-friendly use.\n","vendor":"Adafruit","product_type":"physical","in_stock":true,"options":[],"variants":[{"id":3258,"title":"Default Title","sku":"AF-5001","price":17.62,"on_sale":false,"in_stock":true,"available_quantity":100,"option1":"Default Title"}]}
