 Here you will have to replace PIN_A and PIN_B with the appropriate pins that your PCB utilizes for the encoder(s). For keyboards that use the Pro Micro or any of the Pro Micro replacements, Sparkfun's [Pro Micro Hookup Guide](https://learn.sparkfun.com/tutorials/pro-micro--fio-v3-hookup-guide/hardware-overview-pro-micro) has a pinout diagram that can be useful to determine the right pins. Reference either the blue numbers labeled "Arduino" (digital pins) or the green numbers labeled "Analog" (analog pins). For pins that are labeled as both digital and analog, refer to your specific board's .dtsi file to determine how you should refer to that pin.
 
 Add additional encoders as necessary by duplicating the above lines, replacing `left` with whatever you would like to call your encoder, and updating the pins. Note that support for peripheral (right) side sensors over BLE is still in progress.
