A rotary switch is operated by rotation, ideal for more than 2 positions (e.g., multi-speed). This module uses an analog input (saves Arduino IO), has up to 12 positions (each with indicator), and an adjustable metal buckle for flexible use. It consists of a rotor with a contact arm ("spoke") and circular terminals, connecting circuits and providing greater pole/throw capabilities than simpler switches.
