I guess I have to buy an encoder that does not come up as a gamepad.
Degenatron's AVR encoder shows up as a keyboard. Thread
here.
Resource page for latest info, key maps, and downloading firmware
here.
This post in the thread has several sources for buying the boards:
--
Degenatron sells them with screw terminals (He's in the UK)
--404 sells them without screw terminals. (He's in Florida) He programmed and ops checked mine before shipping them.
--Several commercial vendors also sell them without screw terminals, if you don't mind programming them yourself.
If you need a custom map, Degenatron offered in
this post to adjust keymaps if needed.
