 The device version is a BCD (binary coded decimal) value, in the format `MMmr`, so the below value would look like `0x0100` in the generated code. This also means the maximum valid values for each part are `99.9.9`, despite it being a hexadecimal value under the hood.

+This section controls the basic [rotary encoder](feature_encoders.md) support.

+The following items can be set. Not every value is required.
