This Rotary Encoder module includes a hardware decoder chip that does all the decoding internally. A developer will simply read a number, that increments with CW rotation and decrements with CCW rotation.
Tip: By default, the driver simulates SPI in software to read the values using Y socket. The driver can be simply recompiled to use SPI bus (S socket). No hardware changes are necessary.
