[sdiy] Rotary encoder reading.. hardware solution (fast & accurate)

[Jay Schwichtenberg]

I agree with Tom, this is a trivial uC problem that can be solved with 
about a page of firmware.

Don't know where there is any code out there for this. Might check out 
in Arduino land or MicroChip.

I can think of 4-6 ways of doing this, depends on what else the uC needs 
to do.

Typically I'd use a 1 ms timer to poll the switch and run a state 
machine. State machine would look for the encoder changing, start a 
count down timer for debouncing, when timer is 0 read encoder and 
compare it to last stable value to see if it has changed.
