Strasmax CNC Mach3 pendant - MPG test

This is a test for the accuracy of the MPG installed on the Strasmax CNC Mach3 pendant. The movements of the MPG are hieratic, then the stop position is compared to the number on the screen (counted by the electronics of the pendant). Obviously, the number on the MPG should be equal to the number on the screen modulo 100. It seems it is working perfectly :).
I had to work a lot on the algorithm for de-bouncing and elimination of the false pulses when changing the direction, but now the code is very fast and accurate.
There is an open-source MPG design that you can download from my website, http://www.cnc-routers.ie.
