alright i tried to figure this out myself but there's not too much documentation so i am hoping on someone more experienced in electronic.
how would i go about connecting an array of these to the AXO or matter of fact any MCU?
There's a lot of pins on these, regular 5 for the encoder and a 12 pin matrix for the LEDs. I assume i need to integrate some kind of LED matrix driver to power and adress via i2c or SPI? Multiplexers and/or shift registers?
here's the datasheet
