SparkFun Roller Encoder Breakout

SparkFun Roller Encoder Breakout (PCB-29094)

A simple breakout board for the EVQWGD001 roller wheel encoder by Panasonic. It is similar to what you might find on a steering wheel or other circa 2000s automotive input. While the EVQWGD001 is not manufactured anymore, it's an often sought after user input because of its feel and unique input mode.

Questions

How big is the SparkFun Roller Encoder Breakout PCB?

It measures 25.4 × 25.4 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the SparkFun Roller Encoder Breakout use?

23 parts. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the SparkFun Roller Encoder Breakout KiCad files?

From the sparkfun/SparkFun_Roller_Encoder_Breakout repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Hardware/SparkFun_Roller_Encoder_Breakout.kicad_pcb and its schematic Hardware/SparkFun_Roller_Encoder_Breakout.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the SparkFun Roller Encoder Breakout design in my own project?

Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask sparkfun before reusing the design.
