As part of an ongoing project, I recently designed an expander card for my ESP-12E I2C Base. I am referring to this device( Atmega 328P Base PWM Controller Card<\/a>). At the time of writing that article, I have not released any of the code for the project. This is a very short post, showing one possible way to implement a rotary encoder onto that particular device. (It can also be adapted for other devices, of course)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
