Equipped with USB and Grove(I2C) communication interfaces
Offers flexible installation options with DIN rail or screw mounting
Powered by USB bus power, Grove, or an external input
The Elecrow Encoder Counter is a sophisticated module that is designed to display and output the count of incremental output encoder pulses. It is compatible with both 2-phase (A, B) and 3-phase (A, B, Z) encoders. In addition, it supports open collector output, voltage output, and line driver output encoders.
The module is equipped with USB and Grove(I2C) communication interfaces. It is powered by USB bus power, Grove (3.3V or 5V), or an external input (5V or 3.3V). The module can be installed using either DIN rail mounting or screw mounting, providing flexibility in its placement.

The following products are not eligible for return or refund under this policy:
Used, damaged, or modified products — Items that show signs of use, wear, or alteration, making them unsuitable for resale.
Consumables — Use and wear-and-tear components, altered or depleted through use (e.g., batteries, belts, brushes, gears, filament, tires, disposable bags, lubricants, greases, waxes, etc.). Not eligible for return once opened or used.
Perishables — Goods liable to deteriorate or expire rapidly. Not eligible for return.
Sealed goods (health or hygiene) — Items sealed for health-protection or hygiene reasons (e.g., masks, gloves, odor-absorbing products). Not eligible for return once unsealed.
Build-it-yourself products and items requiring customer assembly — Including robots & kits, robot parts, and other products requiring assembly or soldering. Not eligible for return once assembled, soldered, or installed.
Digital Goods, Software, and Apps — Final sale only, due to licensing restrictions.
Clearance Items — Products identified as clearance or final sale, including end-of-life or discontinued items.
