| | | | | | (...) You have a wheel with spokes and two sensors close to each other (relative to the spoke distance) - if the sensors go A pause B long pause A pause B then you are going one way, and if they go A long pause B pause A long pause B then you are (...)

| | | | | Quadrature encoding. Essentially, there are two light sensors on the rotating disk, which are placed at distance such that when you rotate one direction, you get the following two waveforms: -- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- ---- -- and when you rotate (...)
