/********** 36 Buttons and 3 Rotary Encoders button box by BaldEagle gaming

**********/

/*
*This code is for creating a button box with 36 buttons with 3 rotaries and 0 axis
*This code is for Arduino pro micro
*The table below is showing how the buttons are connected to the board (pin)

*A3, A2, A1, A0, 15 and 14 Are the Row Pins for the Keypad 16 and 10-6 are the
Column Pins
*the buttons are connected to each others according to this table

* : A3 A2 A1 A1 15 14
* ....................................................
* 16 : 0 1 2 3 4 5 I
* 10 : 6 7 8 9 10 11
* 9 : 12 13 14 15 16 17
* 8 : 18 19 20 21 22 23
* 7 : 24 25 26 27 28 29
* 6 : 30 31 32 33 34 35

* Pin 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 plus the GND are used for rotaries
