UPDATE: Check out the new version with pull-up resistors
I designed this simple breakout board in KiCad to make it easier to put a rotary encoder on a breadboard. The KiCad symbol and footprint for the SparkFun rotary encoder was created by mcous on GitHub. I used an updated version with corrected pin numbering.
Here are the rotary encoders that I’ve verified to fit:
The design files are available on GitHub:

The board is shared on OSH Park:

IMHO, adding a pull resistors (and vcc pin) on breakout board would be even nicer.
