 This will read the specified pin. If it's high, then the controller assumes it is the left hand, and if it's low, it's assumed to be the right side. 
 
+#### Handedness by Matrix Pin
+
+You can configure the firmware to read key matrix pins on the controller to determine handedness.  To do this, add the following to your `config.h` file:
+
+```c
+#define SPLIT_HAND_MATRIX_GRID D0, F1
+```
+
+The first pin is the output pin and the second is the input pin.
+
+Some keyboards have unused intersections in the key matrix. This setting uses one of these unused intersections to determine the handness.
+
+Normally, when a diode is connected to an intersection, it is judged to be left. If you add the following definition, it will be judged to be right.
+
+```c
+#define SPLIT_HAND_MATRIX_GRID_LOW_IS_RIGHT
+```

 #### Handedness by EEPROM
 
 This method sets the keyboard's handedness by setting a flag in the persistent storage (`EEPROM`).  This is checked when the controller first starts up, and determines what half the keyboard is, and how to orient the keyboard layout.
