Requires a Driver that can Handle Clock Stretching
Sparkfun assumes everyone uses an Arduino -- in the real world, that's not the case. I was able to ID the device with my custom Propeller 2 driver which has been used with many I2C devices. When I tried to read the firmware level things went south. Connecting a logic analyzer revealed that the device uses clock stretching to give it time required to access values requested from a read command. If you're not using the standard Arduino library make sure that your I2C code supports clock stretching. I added it back in to my P2 I2C driver and am able to communicate with the encoder without problems.

the clear plastic knob shown in the photos isn't included!
You'd think that for $25 they'd include another 10 cent part, but NOPE. The rotary encoder works, but now I need to go source a clear knob.

does not work on raspberry pi
followed instructions on their github, module isnt even recognized as i2c
