Hello all,
after my series of blog posts about photointerrupters and rotary encoders I wrote another post about a practical example: a winding machine. I needed a simple solution for one of my own projects and so I decided to make a homebrew construction with a drill, a rotary encoder and an arduino. If interested look here:

I introduced the basic posts about photointerrupters and rotary encoders already here in this forum.
You can also see the links here:
