Adafruit I2C Quad Rotary Encoder Breakout?

Hardware
1

I saw this module only once mentioned before. Would it work for the 4 main rotary encoders?

I have the 4 press rotary encoders but have had trouble figuring out the wiring, I do have a break out board like this https://core-electronics.com.au/40-pin-raspberry-pi-gpio-breakout.html and a breadboard.

if i can get simple instructions on wiring them for a rasberry pi 5 with a dac+ header that would be super awesome.

Thanks yall

Those modules use I2C to communicate with the host.
While they can be connected to the Pi I think the Zynthian software would need new code to be able to read them. I would like this, since it would simplify the wiring considerably.

It doesn’t only communicate via I2C. If you look at the breakout board you can see all the necessary pins for gpio connection.

It would be nice if it worked, it does look like a clean solution. But maybe the programing for that causes a butterfly effects of unforeseen issues.
