Rotary Encoders with LEDs are a fun addition to any Home Cockpit or custom flight simulator project. These can be used in Flight Simulators as well as Racing Simulators; basically anywhere you are using Arduinos and other Interfacing Cards. Along with my other video on Switches and Pushbuttons with LEDs, this can be another great opportunity to color code your setup or add interesting backlighting.
