Anyone searching for a way to connect multiple rotary encoders on the I2C bus, may be interested in a new piece of hardware created by Simone based in Turin, Italy. The aptly named I2C Encoder V2 takes the form of a tiny smart board specifically designed for connecting multiple rotary encoders and is priced at just €6 or £5 and is now available to back via Kickstarter.
Watch the demonstration video below to learn more about the I2C Encoder V2
If you
“Do you remember when you lose at least 6 GPIOs when you tried to add more than 2 rotary encoders. Plus you are out of interrupt pins and you continuously polling the GPIO? With this little board, you can control as many encoder as you need even with a tiny microcontroller. Your code will be more simple and faster. “
I2C Encoder V2
The I2C Encoder is a tiny board that you can read a mechanical rotary encoder on the I2C bus. The I2C Encoder V2 supports various type of rotary encoder with one footprint:
– Standard mechanical encoder
– Illuminated RGB encoder
– Clickable rotary encoder
– With and without dent
– There are also 3 configurable GPIOs that are organised with the same footprint of RGB LED. You can use them as PWM, I/O or ADC.
– Last but not least, it has also 256bytes of EEPROM.
