DescriptionThe KY-040 360° Rotary Encoder 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 is a great device for stepper and servo motor control.The KY-040 rotary encoder is an incremental electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to digital code. The output of incremental encoders provides information about the motion of the shaft, which is typically further processed in processor / controllers into information such as speed, distance, and position.Features:360° infinite rotation.Shaft Diameter – 6mm, D Shaped5 Pin – GND, Power – 5V, SW – Push switch connection, DT – Direction, CLK – ClockCan be used to detect clockwise and anticlockwise directionsCompatible with Arduino
