Adafruit ANO Directional Navigation and Scroll Wheel Rotary Encoder

This funky user interface element resembles the iconic clicking scroll wheel from the classic iPods, offering an intuitive experience with a modern touch. It's just the encoder/button wheel element.

Sporting a unique pin-out, it's recommended to pair with a breakout PCB for easy integration into any breadboard project. However, you can opt to solder directly to the pins if preferred.

Features include a rotary encoder wheel at the center surrounded by five distinct buttons—up, down, left, right, and center. This setup allows precise control and navigation, serving both innovative projects and practical applications seamlessly.

Designed for use with any microcontroller capable of reading pulse-code rotary encoders, this element is versatile for various tech setups. Whether creating a custom control panel or enhancing an existing project, its mechanical elegance serves as an engaging solution for programmers and builders alike.
