IC/module: 15-Pulse Incremental Rotary Encoder
The Rotary B Click Board™ features a rotary encoder that can be spun round continuously to make a rotation into 15 discrete incremental steps. Featuring 30 detents, this incremental rotary encoder outputs A and B signals that are out of phase to each other.
Ring of 16 Blue LEDs
The rotary encoder is encircled by a ring featuring 16 LEDs in stunning blue colour. The LED ring provides visual feedback to the user and controlled through SPI lines.
Communication to MCU through SPI Interface
The Rotary B Click Board™ communicates with the target board microcontroller via mikroBUS SPI lines (CS, SCK, MISO, MOSI), and three additional lines to deliver the Encoder info: ENCB OUT, ENCA OUT and SW (instead of the typical AN, RST and INT pins, respectively).
Additional LED Colours Available
With the blue LED version, the Rotary B Click Board™, MikroElektronika has launched its third colour in the line of its flashy Click Board™s. The two previous Click Board™s in the same family include two colours: green (Rotary G),red (Rotary R) and yellow (Rotary Y).
