Arduino Rotary Encoder Control Code

This document contains an Arduino sketch for reading a rotary encoder and controlling LEDs based on its direction. The code tracks the encoder's position, increments or decrements it based on clockwise (CW) or counterclockwise (CCW) movement, and updates the corresponding LED and serial output. It includes a damper mechanism to prevent rapid direction changes within a threshold limit.
