KY-040 360 Degree Rotary Encoder Module for Arduino

ROTORY ENCODER is a device use for knowing the axial movement and its direction. KY-040 Rotary Encoder Sensor Module Brick Sensor is a rotary input device (as in knob) that provides an indication of how much the knob has rotate and what direction it is rotating in. It’s a great device for stepper and servo motor control. You could also use it to control devices like digital potentiometers.

M274 360 rotary Degree encoder, is an incremental electro-mechanical device that converts the angular position or motion of a shaft or axle to digital code. The output of incremental encoders provides information about the motion of the shaft, which is typically further processed in processor / controllers into information such as speed, distance, and position.
