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 the other direction, you get these:
---- ----
-- ----
---- ----
---- --
so one input is used as a clock to signal a motion has occurred, and the
other
input tells what the direction was. If you use the leading edge of input
2, as
the trigger here, then you can see that input 1 is in a different state
for each
of the two diagrams above.
