Decoder Quotes
Say the FPGA chip counted 180 steps between encoder increments. Dividing 180 by four yields 45, so between the next two decoder valve changes, we waited 45 cycles and incremented a 2-bit count, waited another 45 cycles and incremented the count again, and so on. We reset the 2-bit counter and performed the division again after each encoder increment to keep the piston synchronized with any change in the valve's speed.
