Effector (mover) | Encoder KY-040 by Keyes - filament monitor

Technical data:

• Operating temperature: -40 °C to 125 °C
• Setting points per revolution: 12 (you should measure for your self because this varies from vendor to vendor)
  
• with switch button
• Fixed hole size: 2.0 mm
• Product size: 32.0 mm * 15.0 mm
• Working voltage: 3.0 V ~ 5.3 V

Warning: Wrong wiring can destroy CLK/DT lines (painfully tested)

Used for

• Filament sensing with KY-040 Rotary Encoder
