I’ve updated the design of the breadboard helpers. These are designed to sit on the power rails of a breadboard. They provide screw clamps to firmly attach the wire from your power supply or battery. The updated design has a test point that you can attach an alligator clamp (or even scope probe) to.
The first manufacturing samples have come back for the “Better” rotary encoder breakout board. This version has two levels of debouncing. The first is the traditional resistor-capacitor network, this is fed into individual schmitt trigger inverters. The output waveforms are nice enough to use on an Arduino without interrupts.
You can buy the Original Mountable Rotary Encoder Board on Tindie. The “Better” version is going out to some beta-testers before I put it up for sale.
