Especially if your own circuit has a display to show values, the next step is to also connect an operating option.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can connect buttons or switches. A really cool way to equip your own circuit with an input option is the rotary encoder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At first glance, a rotary encoder looks like a potentiometer. Unlike the potentiometer, the rotary encoder can be turned infinitely in both directions. In addition, many models are equipped with a button. Connected to a microcontroller, it can ultimately detect how far the device was turned in which direction and also whether the button was pressed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thanks to the appropriate plugin, rotary encoders can be read very easily using ESPEasy and react to the input.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How you connect one (or two) rotary encoders to a Wemos D1 Mini or ESP8266 and configure ESPEasy correctly is described in the following article.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Safety instructions <\/span><\/h2>\r\n

I know the following notes are always kind of annoying and seem unnecessary. Unfortunately, many people who knew "better" have lost eyes, fingers or other things due to carelessness or injured themselves. Data loss is almost negligible in comparison, but even these can be really annoying. Therefore, please take five minutes to read the safety instructions. Because even the coolest project is not worth injury or other trouble.<\/span>
