## Description

Add a hardware volume control dial to Picade Max USB Audio.

Picade Max Encoder is a small board with a digital rotary encoder conveniently pre-attached. Connect it up to the 'Encoder' port on [Picade Max USB Audio](https://core-electronics.com.au/en-au/products/picade-max-usb-audio) and adjust the volume of your homebrew arcade machine (or alternate cool DIY build), with no soldering required ? The encoder is also a button, so you can click it to mute/unmute.

It comes with the same snazzy black aluminium dial that we use in our [Picade Max](https://core-electronics.com.au/en-au/products/picade-max) kit, and a 200mm cable for plugging it in. If you need a longer cable, they're [available here.](https://core-electronics.com.au/en-au/products/jst-sh-cable-qwiic-stemma-qt-compatible)

**Kit includes**

- Picade Max Encoder board, with EC11 digital rotary encoder
- Black aluminium dial
- JST-SH to JST-SH cable (200mm)
 
**Picade Max USB Audio board is [sold separately.](https://core-electronics.com.au/picade-max-usb-c-stereo-audio-amplifier.html)**

**Notes**

- This is not an I2C device! Pimoroni has used a 4 pin JST-SH connector for convenience but it's **not compatible with Qw/ST / Qwiic / STEMMA QT**.
- Dimensions: 
    - Board measures 18 x 38 mm (L x W)
    - Total assembled height: 22mm (approx)
- The mounting holes are M2.5, inset 3mm from each edge (AKA 32x12 hole pattern).
