Rotary Encoder Module

A rotary encoder module that can be used, for example, to create a select or scroll button. The big advantage of a rotary encoder compared to a potentiometer is that there is no start and end position and that it can be read in which direction is turned. It can therefore be rotated indefinitely. In addition, the rotary encoder also has a built-in switch.

This module has built-in pull-up resistors and an RC filter. This eliminates the need for software/external pull-up resistors and debouncing.
