Using rotary encoders with Joystick library Moderators: adafruit_support_bill, adafruit

What do I need to know in order to setup rotary encoders to work as input with the arduino joystick library? I can find very little information of rotary encoders at all other than wiring diagrams, even though I've seen several projects using them for USB input with no code examples.

Unfortunately, the documentation on the arduino joystick library has zero useful information about how to use it. https://github.com/gmarty2000-ARDUINO/arduino-JOYSTICK
Looking at the code it appears to be designed to work with analog joysticks and simply prints out the x/y values.

Reading rotary encoders is a little more involved. PJRC has an excellent rotary encoder library here: https://www.pjrc.com/teensy/td_libs_Encoder.html
