## 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. The 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. Key Features I²C Rotary Encoder – Position count, button state, and RGB LED all accessible over I²C Built-In RGB LED – Software-controllable red, green, and blue LEDs with 16 million+ colour combinations Indent Encoder with Button – Tactile click feedback and push-to-select functionality 24 Steps Per Revolution – ±24 counts per rotation with direction tracking Qwiic I²C Connectors – Solderless daisy-chain connection Breadboard Compatible – 2.54 mm pin headers also broken out Specifications Interface – I²C (Qwiic, 1 mm pitch JST connectors) Encoder Type – Incremental with indent and push button Steps Per Revolution – 24 LED – RGB (PWM-controlled, software-addressable) Shaft Diameter – 6 mm (compatible with standard 6 mm knobs) Ideal For User interface controls (volume, brightness, menu navigation) RGB colour selection dials IoT and embedded control panels Arduino and microcontroller projects Package Contents 1× SparkFun Qwiic Twist RGB Rotary Encoder Breakout Note: Knob is not included.
