What do the pins mean on this rotary encoder?


I'm trying to repair a speaker of mine (old AudioEngine A5). The encoder that controls the volume is not working properly and turning the volume up REALLY loud sometimes when you touch it.


I had some encoders lying around so thought I would try and replace it, but the newer encoder has one more pin and the names on it are very different.


Any idea what these pins mean, or alternatively where I could source the same encoder?


These are the pins on the broken encoder:

These are the pins on the new encoder:

Also, I've tried googling for the part number but nothing turns up. Am I looking at some different type of encoder maybe?



Here's a pic of the part numbers for the broken encoder:

arduino - Can I use TI's cc2541 BLE as micro controller to perform operations/ processing instead of ATmega328P AU to save cost?

I am using arduino pro mini (which contains Atmega328p AU ) along with cc2541(HM-10) to process and transfer data over BLE to smartphone. I...
