It is possible to craete your own knobster using:

- Go to the create/edit tab
- Push the 'Flash' button in the ribbon bar
- Select the Arduino Nano, and click 'Next'
- Check the COM port of your Arduino Nano
- Check the 'Flash as Knobster' option, and click 'Flash'
2. Connecting the rotary encoder to the Arduino Nano
There are fixed pins that should be connected to the appropriate rotary encoder pins.
