Rotary Encoder
Layout symbol
Knob that turns endlessly and outputs pulses as you turn it, so a microcontroller can tell the direction and how far it moved. The A and B pins each connect to the common pin in turn as the knob rotates, and which one changes first gives the direction. Connect the common pin to ground and use pull-up resistors (or the microcontroller's internal pull-ups) on A and B. Learn more about rotary encoders
