I presume you can't add a small magnet and a Hall effect for the reset and detection.?

Looks like the original desgners were extremely clever.

Nice update Andy,

Good description of your approach and your reasoning.

How does your debouncing effect the counting frequency? OR what if the sensor gets two inputs, while you are still debouncing?

Just to second what Gerrit Polder said, thank you for showing the MCU code.

Not tried this yet but this should sort out my reset bouncing problem.
