BadMouth:
We'll, I never did refine it enough for public release.

Howard_Casto:
Hmm.... well maybe I can work on it a little. Ideally it'd be nice to have the yoke generic enough to where it would work with any kind of encoder/switch assuming the shaft size is the same. I've gotta say though, what you made is pretty close to what I had in my head.

I don't know of any rotary encoder software/firmware that would work with the KY-040 encoders you mentioned earlier -- pretty sure that it outputs quadrature waveforms like an optical (mouse) circuit.

Perhaps a composite mouse + keyboard device would work for that hardware setup.
------------
KADE miniArcade 2.0 firmware has already been well-tested with 12-position rotary switch hardware.

It is highly customizable and works with a wide variety of 32u4 boards like the MattairTech MT-DB-U4, Arduino Micro, Teensy 2.0, etc.
- P1 rotary is on ports B 4, B5, and B6.
- P2 rotary is on ports C6, C7, and D2.

There's full documentation in the User Guide. ;D

The Arduino Pro Micro can only support a single rotary stick because port C7 isn't available.

Howard_Casto:
The kade software is impressive, but I'm trying to aim at low end avrs. The teensy is inexpensive to be sure, I've used them in the past, but an uno clone is practically free. I wasn't going to use the ky encoders... I'll post a link of the one I found when I find it again (too much search-fu). It's just a 2-bit, two pin system... real easy to write a relative direction check for it.
