HID Encoder with Arduino IDE and RP2040 Zero

Overview

This project provides the firmware and hardware designs for creating a Human Interface Device (HID) Encoder using the RP2040 Zero microcontroller and Arduino IDE. The encoder can be utilized in various applications such as custom keyboards, MIDI controllers, or any other device that requires an encoder input.

Repository Contents

• Firmware: Source code written in C++ for the Arduino IDE, tailored for the RP2040 Zero.
• Hardware Schematics: Detailed circuit diagrams and PCB layouts for fabricating the encoder hardware.
• 3D Models: STL files for 3D printing the enclosure and other mechanical components of the encoder.
