+Layer conditions can also be used with the callback function like the following:
+
+```c
+bool encoder_update_user(uint8_t index, bool clockwise) {
+    if (get_highest_layer(layer_state|default_layer_state) > 0) {

 ## Hardware
 
 The A an B lines of the encoders should be wired directly to the MCU, and the C/common lines should be wired to ground.
