Rotary Encoders are devices which will generate pulses when they are turned.
Typically they will have two outputs with the pulses out of phase. By checking which pulse "comes first" the direction of the turn can be determined. It is not overly complicated to handle this manually, for example by hooking the signals up to an external GPIO Interrupt.
Rotary encoder de-bouncing
Rotary encoders are build with mechanical contacts and they are prone to "bouncing" (one press generate more than one interrupt". The "signals" can be cleaned up by implementing a low-pass filter like this:
