Introduction
The rotary encoder can count the pulse outputting times during the process of rotation in positive and reverse direction by rotating. This rotating counting is unlimited, not like potential counting. It can be restored to initial state to count from 0.

Test Result
Wiring well and uploading the above code, you can rotate the encoder module to randomly control two LED modules on and off.
When you rotate the encoder module, one LED module is turned on first but another one is off. If you continue to rotate the encoder module, one LED module becomes off while another one is turned on, repeatedly.
