That’s exactly what I had coded before the hardware ‘solution’.

Polling the 3 encoder pins.  Everything was working fine until I added some
code to process the encoder changes. Then BOOM..
Many missed counts everywhere (increments/decrements).
The interrupt style was even harder to implement since there were
4 different states to read before any final counts.
A $2 bucks chips solution makes me spend my  time
elsewhere in my  project releasing.
Again..

Any simple, fast and reliable interrupt driven code to suggest ??

Managing all the encoder 4 steps with debouncing too ?

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.

Gagh! Two whole chips to save writing a few lines of code! Heresy! ;)

For anybody who could be interested..

Just found this video yesterday and tried the circuit..

Outputs A and B (CD4013) connected to PORTB of a PIC16F1783

(RB0 and RB1) using interrupts on change (rising edges).

Now I only have to check one incoming pulse on each RB0 & RB1

to increment or decrement a counter.
Much faster than computing  all the 4 possible states in each encoder step
to finally get a result.

My interrupt uses TIMER1 (1msec steps), RB0 & RB1 on change.

No missing counts anymore even rotating fast, on both direction.
