+ * @section DESCRIPTION
+ *
+ * Quadrature Encoder Interface.
+ *
+ * A quadrature encoder consists of two code tracks on a disc which are 90
+ * degrees out of phase. It can be used to determine how far a wheel has
+ * rotated, relative to a known starting position.
+ *
+ * Only one code track changes at a time leading to a more robust system than
+ * a single track, because any jitter around any edge won't cause a state
+ * change as the other track will remain constant.
+ *
+ * Encoders can be a homebrew affair, consisting of infrared emitters/receivers
+ * and paper code tracks consisting of alternating black and white sections;
+ * alternatively, complete disk and PCB emitter/receiver encoder systems can
+ * be bought, but the interface, regardless of implementation is the same.

+ * The interface uses X2 encoding by default which calculates the pulse count
+ * based on reading the current state after each rising and falling edge of
+ * channel A.

+ * This interface can also use X4 encoding which calculates the pulse count
+ * based on reading the current state after each rising and falling edge of
+ * either channel.

+ * Rotational position in degrees can be calculated by:

+ * (pulse count / X * N) * 360
+ *
+ * Where X is the encoding type [e.g. X4 encoding => X=4], and N is the number
+ * of pulses per revolution.
+ *
+ * Linear position can be calculated by:
+ *
+ * (pulse count / X * N) * (1 / PPI)
+ *
+ * Where X is encoding type [e.g. X4 encoding => X=44], N is the number of
+ * pulses per revolution, and PPI is pulses per inch, or the equivalent for
+ * any other unit of displacement. PPI can be calculated by taking the
+ * circumference of the wheel or encoder disk and dividing it by the number
+ * of pulses per revolution.
