This is a 12-step rotary encoder with a nice \'clicking\' feel. It\'s breadboard friendly, and has a pretty handy select switch (by pushing in on the knob). The encoder is different from a potentiometer in that an encoder has full rotation without limits. The unit outputs [gray code](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gray_code) so that you can tell how much and in which direction the encoder has been turned.
This unit does not come with a knob, but a working knob is related below.
