Making my own formula steering wheel.

[xekill]

Hello everyone,

So recently, since I have a lot of free time I got an idea to make a formula steering wheel for my g29.
The problem occurs when it comes to wiring all the buttons and encoders.
At the begining I wanted to use one of Arduino boards since they are quite cheap.
But when I did some research on such topic, a lot of people prefer to use Leo Bodnar Boards.
So I bought a BBI-32 along with two rotary switches.

The problem is that I wanted to use 14 buttons, two rotary switches and two rotary encoders.
The BBI-32 can handle only 32 inputs, whereas one rotary switch alone take 12 of these.
I found out that you can do some matrix with buttons which can reduce amount of used inputs
but didn't find anyone who does it with BBI-32.
Is it even possible to fit all these inputs I want to use on such a board?

Second question is how can I connect rotary encoders such as this one to BBI-32:

I have also came across such post CLICK where a guy does a similar project and uses same BBI32 board.
Unfortunatelly its quite old and doesn't answer my questions.

Thank you for all help

Those guys have been unbelievably helpful to me and they really know their stuff. My rig wouldnt be half what it is without them.
