I was looking at BSU's rotary encoder module and was wondering:

a) is the pushbutton built into the encoder? and is it toggle or momentary?
b) is the pushbutton wired to the module that connects to the keyboard
controller / epic unit - or do you wire that yourself?
c) what would be some example applications of the builtin pushbutton? has
anyone made use of this feature in their pit?

Thanks,
Alex
