Rotary Encoder + Button Keyboard Output (Arduino Pro Micro)

rotarykey.ino

#include <Keyboard.h>
/* interrupt routine for Rotary Encoders
   tested with Noble RE0124PVB 17.7FINB-24 https://www.nobleusa.com/pdf/xre.pdf - available at pollin.de
   and a few others, seems pretty universal

   The average rotary encoder has three pins, seen from front: A C B
   Clockwise rotation A(on)->B(on)->A(off)->B(off)
   CounterCW rotation B(on)->A(on)->B(off)->A(off)

   and may be a push switch with another two pins, pulled low at pin 8 in this case
