[Question] Is it possible to add encoder(s) to 2.0WHS PCBs? #152

If so, any pointers on how I should go about it?

Possible yes, easy not so much.

You need to add the required footprint in the PCBs add the traces to connect to the encoder to the YJ-14015s. Then there's the hard part: you need to write the required code to read the encoders and find a way to send the data over the Gazel protocol to the YJ-14015 receiver and represent the incoming encoder data in a way that QMK can understand.

Ah I see, thanks for the pointers! I may take a stab at it in the near future.
