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:
_____ _____ _____
|<-------->|
one step
+ |<-->|
+ one step (half-period mode)

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
.gpio_b = GPIO_ROTARY_B,
.inverted_a = 0,
.inverted_b = 0,
+ .half_period = false,
};
