Description Unit Encoder is an I2C communication interface rotary encoder expansion unit. It integrates a 30-position pulse encoder knob with button input and 2 SK6812 programmable RGB LEDs, providing a compact input and feedback module for interactive control projects. The built-in STM32F030 main controller integrates encoder pulse signal acquisition firmware, allowing users to obtain encoder values directly through I2C read operations. This simplifies development for applications such as scale value control, menu adjustment, and volume knob interaction. Features 30-position pulse encoder knob: produces 30 pulses per full rotation. Button input: the rotary knob includes a built-in button input. Programmable RGB LEDs: integrates 2 SK6812 programmable RGB LEDs. I2C communication: uses I2C communication at address 0x40. STM32F030 controller: integrates encoder pulse signal acquisition firmware. Easy value reading: users can obtain encoder values through I2C read operations.
