Experimenting with rotary encoders



Here is a click wheel from an old MS mouse. It is a mechanical quadrature encoder and therefore requires no power. Now that I've done more reading up on Arduino, you can make this work with one single interrupt. I tried it and it works well counting "up" clicks and "down" clicks. I'm going to use it to control volume.
