Overview
Encoder Board is an open-source printed circuit board by isotope-engineering, from the isotope-engineering/RGB-Encoder-Board repository on GitHub. It is a 2-layer board with 24 parts on 26 nets, routed with 235 tracks and 24 vias.
It is built around the SK6805E-J. Its parts include 20 diodes, 1 connector and 1 switch. It belongs with the lEDs and displays boards of this library.

What is this?
This is a super-overkill rotary encoder. Not only does it encode in a rotary fashion, it also lights up! It includes a ring of 20 ultra bright and even more ultra tiny Neopixel LEDs. Ever have trouble deciding between different LED colors? Well here you don't have to. Add this to your next project to give it a brilliant flare in whatever color, or combination of colors, you want.
How do I use it?
Check out the example code in this repo. The provided examples are for use with a Teensy, but it can be used with any controller that can run Neopixels and read an encoder.

Questions
What parts does the Encoder Board use?
24 parts, built around the SK6805E-J. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Encoder Board KiCad files?
From the isotope-engineering/RGB-Encoder-Board repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is hardware/Encoder Board.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Encoder Board design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask isotope-engineering before reusing the design.
