and by triggering on falling and rising edges, the turn direction can
be determined.
Some encoders have both outputs low in stable states, whereas others also have
a stable state with both outputs high (half-period mode).
The phase diagram of these two outputs look like this:

1. Events / state machine
-------------------------
In half-period mode, state a) and c) above are used to determine the
rotational direction based on the last stable state. Events are reported in
states b) and d) given that the new stable state is different from the last
(i.e. the rotation was not reversed half-way).
Otherwise, the following apply:
a) Rising edge on channel A, channel B in low state
This state is used to recognize a clockwise turn
