I am looking into adding a knob for setting spindle speed manually. This
serial encoder is close to what I am looking for:

but is over-kill and way too expensive. Does anyone have a link to an 8
or 10 bit serial (SPI like) absolute encoder? I checked Digikey but
didn't find anything. Other options are to use a potentiometer and
serial ADC or PWM to serial, but an inexpensive single unit would be
better. Thanks.
