It is possible to create a new rotation sensor using a light sensor.

You still only need one input, but you get complete control over the number
of pulses per rotation from your painted disk/code implementation

It's possible - but if you crank up the resolution you soon run into the
problem that your software cannot run fast enough to keep count of the
pulses.

Also, it's hard to distinguish clockwise from anticlockwise rotation with
a light-sensor-based solution. (It's not impossible - but it's *hard*)
