Jim, a nice suggestion. I love the escapement mechanism. But can't see how
this would make us to save a sensor: we still need to know WHEN it's time to
read the code sensor, I mean when the escapement is in one of its two terminal
positions.

I totally agree with you (including "viva Da Vinci" :). Wouldn't it be great
to actually set up some of his projects?
