PIC single axis DRO?

Hi Zoran,

I have built Hageman's 2-meter receiver, which incorporates a panel
shaft ENCODER, and an LCD display of frequency. A PIC 16C73 was used,
others can be substituted as well. Code was in 'C' (source code
available), a CCS compiler was used. I haven't got around to it, but it
should be easy to rewrite the code (assuming you know 'C') to do what
you want. My son was able to use the code to bootstrap himself (and his
team) into a line follower car (16F877 processor), for a NATCAR (UC
Davis) project.
