{"title":"SparkFun Qwiic Twist - RGB Rotary Encoder Breakout","handle":"sparkfun-qwiic-twist-rgb-rotary-encoder-breakout","url":"/products/sparkfun-qwiic-twist-rgb-rotary-encoder-breakout","description":"The SparkFun Qwiic Twist is a digital RGB rotary encoder breakout with built-in I²C interface. It handles all interrupt management, switch debouncing, and LED PWM internally, presenting encoder position, button state, and RGB colour control over a simple I²C connection via Qwiic connectors.\n\nThe indent-style encoder provides tactile feedback with a satisfying click on each step, and includes a built-in push button for menu selection. One full rotation produces 24 counts (positive clockwise, negative counter-clockwise). The RGB LED beneath the knob supports over 16 million colours through software-controlled mixing.\n\nKey Features\n\n\nI²C Rotary Encoder – Position count, button state, and RGB LED all accessible over I²C\n\nBuilt-In RGB LED – Software-controllable red, green, and blue LEDs with 16 million+ colour combinations\n\nIndent Encoder with Button – Tactile click feedback and push-to-select functionality\n\n24 Steps Per Revolution – ±24 counts per rotation with direction tracking\n\nQwiic I²C Connectors – Solderless daisy-chain connection\n\nBreadboard Compatible – 2.54 mm pin headers also broken out\n\n\nSpecifications\n\n\nInterface – I²C (Qwiic, 1 mm pitch JST connectors)\n\nEncoder Type – Incremental with indent and push button\n\nSteps Per Revolution – 24\n\nLED – RGB (PWM-controlled, software-addressable)\n\nShaft Diameter – 6 mm (compatible with standard 6 mm knobs)\n\n\nIdeal For\n\nUser interface controls (volume, brightness, menu navigation)\nRGB colour selection dials\nIoT and embedded control panels\nArduino and microcontroller projects\n\n\nPackage Contents\n\n1× SparkFun Qwiic Twist RGB Rotary Encoder Breakout\n\n\n\nNote: Knob is not included.
