KY-040 360 Degree Rotary Encoder Module

ROTARY ENCODER is a device used for knowing the axial movement and its direction. KY-040 Rotary Encoder Sensor Module Brick Sensor is a rotary input device (as in knob) that provides an indication of how much the knob has been rotated and what direction it is rotating in. It’s a great device for stepper and servo motor control. You could also use it to control devices like digital potentiometers.
