YES ! :thumbup:

Basically MF was not build for the KY040 .... We support them cause lots of USers own them from the old Arduino Laboratory Packs.


MF was build for simple stock Encoders like the EC11
Mf not need 5V line for encoders......

Logic:
1 Line for GRD ( Most encoders use the middle pin for that)
2 Signal Lines .... 2 Pins on the Arduino and the DataA and DataB Pins on the Encoder (Mostly the outer 2 Pins)

In MF Modules Device settings you create a Encoder Device and choose just for the Channel A and B used Pins.
Good Luck !
