The Boardoza Rotary Encoder EC1101S Breakout Board is a multifunctional input and visual feedback solution that combines a mechanical rotary encoder with an integrated push button and addressable RGB LEDs (ARGB) on a single compact PCB. This board converts rotational motion into digital signals while simultaneously enabling dynamic visual effects through programmable LEDs.
By integrating 14 cascaded ARGB LEDs directly around the encoder, the board allows users to visually represent rotation, direction, speed, or system states. Each encoder movement can be interpreted by a microcontroller (such as Arduino, ESP32, or similar platforms) to control LED color, brightness, and animation patterns, making it ideal for interactive interfaces, control panels, and creative electronics projects.
