Hello all,

What's the name for one of those knobs like you get on radio's for
volume controls where it keeps turning and there's no stops? And how
does it know which direction the knob was turned?

Thanks

Its a rotary encoder.

You just count phased pulses from it.
You can tell the direction from the phase the 2 pulses move.
