How to Use the M274 360 Degree Rotary Encoder
- Wiring: Connect the VCC pin to 3.3V or 5V and the GND pin to ground on your microcontroller (like Arduino). The A and B pins are the signal outputs that you’ll connect to digital input pins.
- Setup: In your code, you'll read the A and B signals to track the direction and amount of rotation. When the knob is turned, the signals change and provide feedback on the motion.
- Direction & Position: The A and B channels work together to indicate the direction of rotation (clockwise or counterclockwise). By reading both, you can determine the position and movement of the knob.
- Speed & Distance: As you rotate the encoder, the number of pulses sent by the A and B channels increases. This pulse rate can be used to calculate the speed and distance traveled.
- Applications: Use it to control motors (stepper or servo), create custom user interfaces (like volume controls), or interface with digital potentiometers for precise adjustments.
