Solid build quality
We use these in our workshop for various prototypes. They are robust enough to handle frequent adjustments. Would give 5 stars if the cable was included.

Good value but pins are loose
The sensor itself is accurate and responsive. However, the included pin headers were a bit loose in the sockets. I ended up soldering them directly to be safe. Otherwise, great product.

Perfect for my robotics project
This encoder works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The 360-degree rotation is smooth, and the code library I found online made integration very easy. Highly recommended for beginners.

Works but documentation is sparse
The hardware is fine, but I had to search several forums to get the wiring diagram correct for my specific board. Once wired up, it functions as expected.

Great for university projects
Bought this for a mechatronics assignment. It handled continuous rotation without any wear signs after weeks of testing. The price point is unbeatable for students.

Excellent digital potentiometer alternative
I needed a durable input for a menu system, and this fits the bill perfectly. The push-button feature is a nice bonus for selection inputs. No debouncing issues so far.
Q: Can I use this with a 3.3V logic board like ESP32?
A: Yes, this module operates comfortably within the 3.3V to 5V range, making it fully compatible with ESP32 and Raspberry Pi GPIO pins.
Q: Does this module require external pull-up resistors?
A: Most Arduino boards have internal pull-up resistors that can be enabled in the code. However, for stable readings on long wires, external 10k resistors are recommended.
Q: What is the resolution of the encoder?
A: This specific model typically provides 20 pulses per revolution (PPR), which translates to 80 counts per revolution when counting both rising and falling edges of both channels.
Q: Is the shaft length sufficient for mounting behind a panel?
A: The shaft is approximately 6mm long. For thick panels, you may need to purchase an extension shaft or mount it on a thinner surface.
Q: Does the push-button switch have a specific rating?
A: The integrated switch is rated for standard low-current signal switching, suitable for microcontroller inputs. It is not designed for high-load power switching.
