Unleash the potential of digital control with our Rotary Encoder breakout board. Compact and powerful, this module makes working with rotary encoders easy. Rotary encoders are versatile input devices that convert angular position or button movement into digital signals. With the ability to detect direction and distance of rotation, they are perfect for controlling a variety of equipment such as volume knobs on audio devices, motors in robotics, or navigation controls in user interfaces.

Our breakout board simplifies the use of rotary encoders by utilizing easyC technology, making it easily connectable with microcontrollers or other circuits. It accepts input from a rotary encoder and translates it into signals that your microcontroller can interpret. In addition to the aforementioned rotary encoder module, the board also features a small ATTiny404 microcontroller, as well as a switch for selecting the I2C address. This breakout board comes with 2 easyC connectors for easy plug-and-play into the easyC system. If you don’t want to use easyC, the module can also be used via standard headers.

On this module, there is a component, a phototransistor, which is capable of detecting infrared radiation. Since fire emits a large amount of infrared radiation, this sensor will detect it, but that is not its only application. Wherever there are IR (infrared) waves, this sensor will detect them, including from solar radiation.

The simple sensor has easyC connectors, which enables quick and easy connection with Dasduino microcontroller boards.

Fuel gauge is a special type of accessory for lithium batteries that very precisely measures the state of the battery. This includes current voltage [mV], state of charge [%] and probably most interestingly: remaining capacity in the battery [mAh]. It is used with 1S batteries, and provides all this information via the I2C interface.

On our board you can find easyC connectors which allow I2C communication with microcontroller. Also, there is a JST input for any pouch battery you can find in our offer, as well as quick connect terminal connector for input if your source doesn’t have JST connector.

RTC (Real Time Clock) is a device that carefully and precisely tracks time and dates. It is extremely precise, so it is more suitable for long-term time tracking than clocks on microcontrollers. This breakout can work with an extremely low current and thanks to the alarm feature and interrupt pin, it will allow a microcontroller to enter sleep mode until its awaken by this RTC.

It has a built-in battery holder (battery not included) and even if power is lost, real-time tracking won’t be affected.

The Color and Gesture Sensor APDS-9960 breakout is a compact and powerful module designed for multiple sensing capabilities. It enables gesture recognition, allowing it to detect movements such as up, down, left, and right. In addition to gestures, it features proximity sensing, accurately measuring the distance of objects within a range of 10 to 20 cm. This makes it ideal for interactive applications and touchless control systems.

Create awesome user inputs with the APDS-9960, the all-in-one sensor that detects gestures, proximity, ambient light, and RGB colors. It’s a way to build smarter, more interactive projects. Whether you’re designing a hands-free user interface, a robot that can sense its surroundings, or a display that automatically adjusts to ambient light, the APDS-9960 provides the multi-faceted sensing capabilities you need.

This sensor, famously used in smartphones like the Samsung Galaxy S5, combines four sensing functions into a single compact module. The gesture detection allows you to recognize directional movements (up, down, left, right), while the proximity sensor can detect objects up to 20cm away. The integrated ambient light and RGB color sensor can measure the intensity and color of light, making it perfect for applications like automatic screen brightness adjustment or color sorting robots. With built-in UV and IR filters, you can be sure that your readings are accurate and free from interference.

What makes this breakout special is its seamless integration into our Qwiic ecosystem, allowing for quick connections with all your boards. As with all our products, it’s open-source, with all design files available for you to modify and adapt, plus our 2-year warranty and technical support.
