12 position rotary switch > 2 keyboard encoder inputs, simple hardware solution?

Wow, I'm surprised they got there so fast... I was just about to send you the tracking number...
Useful links for the programmer:
WinAVR This is the IDE I use, it's very simple and lightweight (read low features) but it gets the job done. Also, if I'm not mistaken, it includes AVRDude which does the actual programming of the chip.
Drivers for programmer
AdaFruit USBTiny drivers Drivers for the USBTiny from Adafruit
As for how to hook up the chip to program, there are a bunch of images that can be searched for that can show you how to do that. (easy if you have a bread board, more fun if not).

Sigh. Ended up working all weekend and didn't get a chance to solder this up and test. I'll try to find time one night this week.

I found a little time this evening to test out one of your boards and it worked flawlessly. R & L were reversed, but that would be a function of which direction I wired the 1,2,3 inputs.
I didn't get a chance to really play a long game due to quickly throwing together a temporary test setup. I thought I'd just swap the sanwa jlf wiring harness over from the joystick in my cab to the modified one bolted to the edge of my cp, but they were oriented different so the directions were all screwed up. Due to the positioning of the potentiometer and arm, I couldn't just rotate the joystick body.
The good news is that it works and the temporary joystick mount demonstrated that I can fit the rotary mods in my cab if I cut a few holes in the bottom of the CP for clearance.
When I get time. I'll post pics of the test setup in my "cheap 3D printed rotary mod" thread in project announcements.

Awesome, I'm glad to hear they work for you. I can't wait to see them actually in place and in action. It's been a fun little project.
