Both RGB Leds and Rotary encoders have two things in common:
They are cheap and very useful to get easy to use User I/O for microcontroller projects. But they are both a hassle to use if you only have one microcontroller and lots of LEDs.
For the LEDs ppl will use Neopixels / WS2812B, etc... But for the Encoder there does not exist a convenient solution. The desire to have this convenient for input as well as output is how this projects was conceived.

preliminary concept pcb.
It should be possible to connect them in this manner.
Sadly horizontal pin headers take too much space, it has to fit within these dimensions.
