+For 4× encoders you also can assign default position if encoder skips pulses when it changes direction. For example, if your encoder send high level on both pins by default, define this:
+
+```c
+#define ENCODER_DEFAULT_POS 0x3

 ## Split Keyboards
 
 If you are using different pinouts for the encoders on each half of a split keyboard, you can define the pinout (and optionally, resolutions) for the right half like this:
