Do I have to manually frequently read the values from rotation sensors for
the count to work, or does the firmware monitor the sensor for me? I have
home-brew passive sensors, touch sensors and light sensors working fine,
but the rotation sensor is troubling me.

Yes, you need to read the rotation sensor continuously. Be careful to
not read it TOO quickly, especially if the sensor is turning
slowly or you get the jumpy count problem. There is a fix for it
and I might add it too the rotation sensor code in pbForth someday...

Cheers, Ralph
