Scroll through your tabs with an Arduino and a rotary encoder

Has this ever happened to you? Do you just have too many tabs to scroll through with your mouse? Would you like to have a better option and fine-grained control about your scroll speed?

Look no further!

3D-print yourself a nice knob for your rotary encoder, upload the sketch to an Arduino and get scrolling.

Watch the WebTuner in action:
