Ok, ok, we get the two buttons and just *glue* them to the spinner knob!
Then we devise a wireless transmitter that mounts inside one of the buttons
to send the button state to the main receiver board! It's so obvious! ;-)
Seriously though, I agree with Zonn, the spinner->button convertor is an
interesting idea, but I think the converse would be much more useful for
most people.
(You know, I could do that easily as "mode4" in the PIC. Use the two
quadrature input lines as "rotate left" and "rotate right" input lines.
Then output the appropriate pattern as a "virtual" spinner. I could
probably use another couple lines of I/O though so select more options...)
