Encoder read by BARRAGAN
Demonstrates the use of an encoder with the Encoder library Prints the encoder value Encoder's PinA must be attached to External Interrupt pins. On Wiring v1 boards the external interrupts capable pins are: 0, 1, 2, 3, 36, 37, 38 and 39 On Wiring S board the external interrupts capable pins are: 2, 3 and 18
