They can work, but because they require a VCC of 6 volts and the A & B (also /A & /B) output grounds are not isolated from power ground, you must use opto-isolators between the encoder and the Raduino. ?If you do that, they should work fine. ?If you don't you risk damaging the encoder inputs to the Raduino's NANO which are only slightly over 5 volts max. ?(Don't ask me how I know this - LOL).

Hi all,
Would it be possible to use one of these with the raduino? I have a couple laying around in the shack str since I built a couple into a remote tuner for my loop, seems a shame not to use them.
