just found this manual matic pendant, but teensy 4.1 is too expensive ower price board, can i use teensy 2.0 this ? lot lot cheapen, and what need dong encoder or other library, ?not understand english good, need change arduino ide encoder library to new and were have ? i come old teensy 2.0 USB pendant all time only errorrs whit encoder.h
no declare scope etc. i not know what this all mean. not need diplay , only encoder and rotary SW change acis and scale. can move XYZ remote controll. were i found code teensy 2.0 can use. this.

Hi - the project is based around the Teensy 4.1 to ensure responsiveness from both inputs and the display. Technically you could use a Teensy 4.0 on the PCB (ir I created a common footprint) but I have not tested this and you would not be able to use the 5 physical buttons below the display.
If you don't need the display, this is probably not the right hardware to base your project off but the Manualmatic Python Component and pendant code is all open source so should help point you in the right direction. A Teensy 2.0 would no doubt be more than enough to run an MPG and an encoder button or two.
The Encoder (`encoder.h`) library is designed/written by PJRC for the Teensy range and is extremely reliable, so not sure why you are getting errors. You could use my InputEvents library (in Arduino IDE  and PlatformoIO library managers) to make it easier to use the base Encoder library.
