Adafruit ANO Rotary Navigation Encoder Breakout PCB
This breakout PCB converts the ANO rotary navigation encoder's non-standard pinout into a straightforward, breadboard-friendly header strip. The ANO encoder combines a rotary encoder with directional and centre-push buttons — similar to classic scroll wheel interfaces — and this PCB makes it easy to wire up to any microcontroller.
Key Features
- Breadboard-Friendly – Converts the ANO encoder's pinout to standard 0.1" header spacing
- 7 GPIO Required – 5 button pins + 2 rotary encoder pins
- 2 Common Pins – Set to ground or VCC (ground recommended for internal pull-ups)
- Simple PCB – No active components, pull-up or pull-down resistors
Also Available
- ANO Rotary Encoder I2C STEMMA QT Adapter – Seesaw I2C version with STEMMA QT, no GPIO needed
Ideal For
- Custom navigation interfaces
- Menu and settings controls
- Audio volume and media controls
- Breadboard prototyping
Package Contents
- 1× Adafruit ANO Rotary Navigation Encoder Breakout PCB
