Why we recommend it

The EC11 is the component-level encoder behind many KY-040 modules — useful when you want to panel-mount controls in a custom enclosure rather than use a breakout board. Six units with knob caps let you build a proper jog/teach pendant for your arm. They suit Arduino, ESP32 and Raspberry Pi, and the 5-pin layout includes the push switch for mode changes.
