All:

I have an article coming out in (I think) the June issue of CQ that talks a little bit about software. The article is an experiment to see if there is any interest in a quarterly column about software "stuff". There will be an email address at the end of that article where readers can write in and say Yay (I'd like to see more) or Nay (I've seen enough). Rich will take a look at the responses and decide if a column is a good idea. You already know how I feel about it. This encoder thing would be the type of theme for a column. Generally, each column would state a problem (How can I control 16 switches with 1 I/O pin?) and then the article would discuss one solution to it. (There is no such thing as "THE" answer in software, as it's always likely that someone can provide a better answer.)

I know some of you will be interested, but I also know that some of you would rather watch something rust. My goal is to help those who are interested and trick those who don't yet know their interested into giving it a try. After all, you can get started for less than your morning latte, but you may find an exciting new aspect of this hobby we all enjoy so much.

Regardless of the outcome, I sure appreciate Rich at least giving the idea a try.

Good information, if you know programming. I am just a dabbler and have limited skills in this area. Although, thanks for the info.

This was just an example to show that the 100PPR encoders can be made to work.? Anyone who cares to can feel free to incorporate Jack's suggestion and make the code into a library.
