Rotating disc puzzle solution

on Wednesday 25 March 2020

We can deduce the rotation of the disc with 2 sensors by placing them at an angle of 90 degree.
Let us say we have 2 sensors named A and B.

Now there are two possible initial values of the sensor. Either Black or White.
Let us assume that Black - 0 and White - 1

The disc is rotating clockwise if Sensor A changes to the value of Sensor B and Sensor B becomes Sensor A XOR 1

The disc is rotating counter clockwise if Sensor A changes to the value of Sensor B XOR 1 and Sensor B becomes Sensor A.

This is explained with the below table.



Initial Clockwise Counter-Clockwise
A - Black B - Black A - Black B - White A - White B - Black
A - Black B - White A - White B - White A - Black B - Black
A - White B - Black A - Black B - Black A - White B - White
A - White B - White A - White B - Black A - Black B - White
