Rotary Encoder Arduino Debounced precise
/* interrupt routine for Rotary Encoders
by rafbuff - thanks whereever u are!
tested with Noble RE0124PVB 17.7FINB-24 https://www.nobleusa.com/pdf/xre.pdf - available at pollin.de
and a few others, seems pretty universal
The average rotary encoder has three pins, seen from front: A C B
Clockwise rotation A(on)->B(on)->A(off)->B(off)
CounterCW rotation B(on)->A(on)->B(off)->A(off)
and may be a push switch with another two pins, pulled low at pin 8 in this case
