Wiring Guide & Pinout Diagram

Connecting your rotary encoder with knob to an Arduino is straightforward. The Sensyor REK-20P rotary encoder module features five clearly labeled pins for easy wiring on a breadboard.

Pin connections:

• VCC → 5V power supply
• GND → Ground
• CLK (A) → Digital pin 2 (encoder pulse A)
• DT (B) → Digital pin 3 (encoder pulse B)
• SW (push) → Digital pin 4 (push-button switch)

This setup supports easy detection of rotation direction, precise incremental coding, and push-button presses in your Arduino or Raspberry Pi projects.

Below is a simple pinout diagram illustrating how to connect the rotary encoder breakout board to an Arduino Uno for quick prototyping:

Using this wiring layout, you can start reading encoder pulses and button presses reliably for menu navigation, volume control, or any other application.

For more advanced projects that need robust rotary input, consider pairing the Sensyor rotary encoder knob with compatible modules like the LX78S wire-type encoder for extended functionality.
