## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ADA5221:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ADA5221:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

The ANO rotary encoder wheel is a funky user interface element is reminiscent of the [original clicking scroll wheel interface on the first iPods](https://gizmodo.com/a-visual-history-of-the-ipod-click-wheel-r-i-p-1632640054). It's a nifty kit, but the pin-out is a little odd, so they made a handy breakout board that converts the funky pin set into a straight forward, breadboard-friendly header strip.

**This is just the PCB for the ANO encoder, [the encoder is NOT included! Pick one up here](https://core-electronics.com.au/ano-directional-navigation-and-scroll-wheel-rotary-encoder.html).**

There's no pull-up or pull-down resistors on this PCB, and of course you'll need to solder the encoder onto the breakout. Then use your microcontroller's button and rotary encoder library/hardware support to interface with the pins.

You'll need 7 GPIO total: 5 buttons and 2 rotary encoder pins. There's also two COMmon pins, which you can set to ground or VCC - usually ground so that you can use the microcontroller internal pull-ups for the button/encoders. Note to make Adafruit's wiring simple, Adafruit's example code uses GPIO to the COM's and then sets then to outputs, but you can just wire them directly.
