Ever wondered about how simple an User Interface (UI) for your next electronics hack or project be? Indeed, and you should also seen the humble rotary encoder and a Display as UI for 3D printer or other gadgets. In this tutorial we will look at building such a system with a '''Nokia 5110 display''' and a '''rotary encoder KY-040'''. | Ever wondered about how simple an User Interface (UI) for your next electronics hack or project be?

You may use any other character or graphics displays as well as other encoder models. Instead making the code generic, we will start building an UI for a digital clock. On it's home screen it will show time. The pushing of the select switch on the encoder will display the Menu. The Menu in turn will have numerous setting for time, date, time format (12 Hour vs 24 Hour ), time Zone etc.., | You may use any other character or graphics displays as well as other encoder models.
