Example Code for Arduino-Adjust Gain Coefficient

Hardware Preparation

• DFRduino UNO R3 (or similar) x 1
• Rotary Encoder Module (I2C) x 1
• Jumper wires

Software Preparation

• Arduino IDE
• Download and install the Rotary Encoder Module Library. (About how to install the library?)

Wiring Diagram

Other Preparation Work

Ensure the rotary encoder's I2C address is set to 0x54 via the DIP switches on the back of the module.I2C Setting Method
