Arduino Playground is read-only starting December 31st, 2018. For more info please look at this Forum Post

/*When you turn the rotary encoder clockwise, the angular displacement is increased;

  when you turn it counterclockwise, the displacement is decreased.
  If you press the switch on the rotary encoder, the readings will return to zero

  **Although this is in the Public Domain, I have created a "Creative Commons License" for this work,
  the reason is, I made enough mod's and put in many hours of work to make this program accurate and
  efficient as part of a much larger project @ Hackaday.com, the DAV5 3D Printable Raman Spectrometer.

  There are individuals there that have engaged in "intellectual theft" and not bothered to give credit
  where credit was certainly due, so I believe I have no choice but to go this route since I have put in
  2 years of very hard work on this.**

  I have modified this code to accomodate my diffraction grating turret for
  the DAV5 Raman 3D printable Spectrometer (http://hackaday.io/project/18126-dav5-v301-raman-spectrometer)

  Written and modified by David H Haffner SR 10/18/2017

  Full project details can be found here @ https://hackaday.io/project/18126-dav5-v301-raman-spectrometer

  This program is also in the public domain @ https://playground.arduino.cc/Main/KY-040EncodeUsedToControlAHolographicDiffractionGratingForARamanSpectrometer

  It utilizes a Bourns 2-Bit Quadrature code encoder (64 PPR [pulses per revolution] to control the holographic diffraction grating
  at steps of 1 & -1, each pin (SW,DT and CLK) has a 0.1uf ceramic cap for decoupling,
  this is more effective for rise time spike removal. There is one LED that blinks twice to indicate system ready.
  This is accomplished by adjusting both "StepsToTake and RotoryPosition," they are in direct relation to steps per revolution
  of the internal shaft according to the type of stepper motor you are using (mine is a 28-YBJ-48).Fine tuning can be done by playing between
  STEPS (per revolution of shaft) and Speed, this will ensure smoother transitions when turning the encoder for fewer misses.
  If you press the switch on the rotary encoder, the readings will return to approx zero 0.21 percent error.
  a 0.1uf ceramic Cap is placed @ PinSW (4) to + (the reason for the pin pullup).

  The formula in this sketch is derived from the specifications of the 28-YBJ-48 stepper MTR
  which has a step angle of 5.62deg, to convert degrees into nanometers you 1st have to convert
  degrees into radians {RAD}, we do this for the 1st specification which is 5.625deg = 0.09817474 {RAD}
  this # is then divided by the equitorial radius of the Earth which is 3,963.2 miles.

  Our new value would then be, 0.000024772 miles (NM), convert this into centimeters, (3.986667)

  Now with this #, we multiply it by the constant of 1 (NM) = 1609344e+012 miles *(Variable)/ 7
  gives us our converting factor from encoder position count to nanometer counts.
