Title: Using a rotary encoder
Post by: vinnygalbo on February 16, 2017, 01:15:27 PM
Hi,

The only 5 pin rotary encoders I have encountered used 3 for 'encoder' part and the other 2 pins were for a momentary push button in the shaft; I haven't seen one that names a 'CLK' signal etc. I'm trying to see activity in the serial monitor. The encoder in question is an Accu-Coder.

Thank you in advance for any help.
