Can PBP read optical encoder damn fast? :)

[Ioannis]

Absolutely agree. Code works as expected and is fast enough for manual rotation. Have not tested for faster resposne.

The encoder indeed has a detent that produces 4x pulses so yeah. It is not appropriate for that code.

Not the best programming techniques but uses interrupts and is fast enough for x4 encoders like ALPS with push switch used to reset the position counter.

Based on Henrik's example and tested on 16F886.

Encoder VAR BYTE
Old_Enc VAR BYTE
Test VAR BYTE
Dir VAR WORD          ' Must be same size as Position variable

detent  var byte
flag  var bit
