Push button Rotary encoders

Projects General Guidance

I'm a noobie at something for a long time lol....

Anyway hi everyone hope you can help me out.
My plan is to build a Rotary encoder button box. I have 10 Encoders with built in push button function.

The box is going to be for Sim Racing (iRacing, Assetto Corsa)
I understand the pinouts on each side on the encoders, i.e. the side with 2 pins is the button push and the 3 side is the rotation.

How would I go about wiring 10 together and connect them to either... Uno,Nano or Pro Micro I have all 3.

Also when it comes to making a sketch or installing one that works who is the best person for the job?

Many thanks for you help

Kindest regards

Regular or quadrature encoders - the second also show you direction? What's the actual pinout?

Push buttons can probably be connected like normal buttons (GND to one side, other side to the input pin, set pinMode to INPUT_PULLUP).

The rotary encoder - need more info.

10 quadrature encoders = 20 pins
10 push buttons = 10 pins

If you want to connect them on a single Arduino, you need a Mega.

10 is a lot. That's a lot of wires. After making one work on the breadboard, I'd go straight to designing a PCB. This is a good project to learn how to drive a PCB design program such as Eagle. Just grab a parts library for the part you want to use and place 10 of them on a board. They only cost a few dollars to get them fabricated.
