# Encoders
Basic encoders are supported by adding this to your `rules.mk` :
2020-02-29 21:00:00 +01:00
```make
ENCODER_ENABLE = yes
```
2018-10-26 22:19:23 +02:00
and this to your `config.h` :
2020-02-29 21:00:00 +01:00
```c
#define ENCODERS_PAD_A { B12 }
#define ENCODERS_PAD_B { B13 }
```
2018-10-26 22:19:23 +02:00
Each PAD_A/B variable defines an array so multiple encoders can be defined, e.g.:
2020-02-29 21:00:00 +01:00
```c
#define ENCODERS_PAD_A { encoder1a, encoder2a }
#define ENCODERS_PAD_B { encoder1b, encoder2b }
```
If your encoder's clockwise directions are incorrect, you can swap the A & B pad definitions. They can also be flipped with a define:
2018-10-26 22:19:23 +02:00
2020-02-29 21:00:00 +01:00
```c
#define ENCODER_DIRECTION_FLIP
```
2018-10-26 22:19:23 +02:00
2020-06-21 09:10:01 +02:00
Additionally, the resolution, which defines how many pulses the encoder registers between each detent, can be defined with:
2018-10-26 22:19:23 +02:00
2020-02-29 21:00:00 +01:00
```c
#define ENCODER_RESOLUTION 4
```
2018-10-26 22:19:23 +02:00
2020-11-28 21:02:18 +01:00
It can also be defined per-encoder, by instead defining:
```c
#define ENCODER_RESOLUTIONS { 4, 2 }
```

## Split Keyboards
2020-11-28 21:02:18 +01:00
If you are using different pinouts for the encoders on each half of a split keyboard, you can define the pinout (and optionally, resolutions) for the right half like this:
2019-08-17 01:46:41 +02:00
```c
#define ENCODERS_PAD_A_RIGHT { encoder1a, encoder2a }
#define ENCODERS_PAD_B_RIGHT { encoder1b, encoder2b }
2020-11-28 21:02:18 +01:00
#define ENCODER_RESOLUTIONS_RIGHT { 2, 4 }
2019-08-17 01:46:41 +02:00
```
2018-10-26 22:19:23 +02:00
## Callbacks
The callback functions can be inserted into your `<keyboard>.c` :
2020-02-29 21:00:00 +01:00
```c
void encoder_update_kb(uint8_t index, bool clockwise) {
encoder_update_user(index, clockwise);
}
```
2018-10-26 22:19:23 +02:00
or `keymap.c` :
2020-02-29 21:00:00 +01:00
```c
void encoder_update_user(uint8_t index, bool clockwise) {
if (index == 0) { /* First encoder */
2019-01-18 16:33:43 +01:00
if (clockwise) {
2020-02-29 21:00:00 +01:00
tap_code(KC_PGDN);
2019-01-18 16:33:43 +01:00
} else {
2020-02-29 21:00:00 +01:00
tap_code(KC_PGUP);
2018-10-26 22:47:00 +02:00
}
2020-04-23 00:56:22 +02:00
} else if (index == 1) { /* Second encoder */
2019-01-18 16:33:43 +01:00
if (clockwise) {
2020-02-29 21:00:00 +01:00
tap_code(KC_DOWN);
2019-01-18 16:33:43 +01:00
} else {
2020-02-29 21:00:00 +01:00
tap_code(KC_UP);
2019-01-18 16:33:43 +01:00
}
2018-10-26 22:19:23 +02:00
}
2020-02-29 21:00:00 +01:00
}
```

## Hardware
The A an B lines of the encoders should be wired directly to the MCU, and the C/common lines should be wired to ground.
