[Feature Request] Rotary Encoder

[jolo2020]

Feature Request Type

• [x] Core functionality
• [ ] Add-on hardware support (eg. audio, RGB, OLED screen, etc.)
• [ ] Alteration (enhancement/optimization) of existing feature(s)
• [ ] New behavior

Description

I don't think, that I've chosen the right issue type, sorry about that. Attached you'll find a picture of soldering work done on an Iris PCB. Is there a way to use the unused pins of the atmega in a similar way (solder the wire of an encoder to holes in the PCB) or do I have to solder directly on the microcontroller (since the wings board has an integrated chip)?

Sorry, but I'm greatly confused by your post.

Well first your post is super helpful!

You reference a "super helpful" first post that apparently I made, but have started a new issue on my qmk_firmware fork; so there's no included context. I don't know what post to which you are referring – if you can link me to the post you're referring to that would be a big help.

But is it possible to describe which pins are unused? I am new to the qmk language and want to go straight for a big project (adding a encoder to ymdk wings).

I don't know offhand, but it probably wouldn't be hard to determine.

Furthermore, do you have any actual keymapping after the definition of variables to share?

Not sure what variables you're referring to here. Do you mean for setting up the rotary encoder?

Sorry my bad it's this post:

https://github.com/noroadsleft/qmk_firmware/blob/master/keyboards/ymdk/wings/config.h

I am quite new to everything so please excuse my stupid questions :).

I would really appreciate some guidance to programming the encoder, where to solder on the atmega32u4 and furthermore a normal keymap (qwerty), because I failed last time programming the keymap :(.

Thank you already!!
