Continuation on bidirectional rotation counter

[gcjr]

this must be frustrating for you. a 1400+ word response and two 250+ line pieces of code

PURPOSE: I started this project in order to mitigate a functional obstacle I increasingly face in my pastime joy of fishing from a boat. I use downriggers that set the depth at which your lines are running. These have very small mechanical digital counters seen through a small window. As the terrain changes constantly and you may be only 3-5 ft off the bottom, you have to be ready to make manual adjustments often and quickly.

but would you mind providing a more succint description of what you're trying to do ... rather than how you think to do it.

... looking over the code, what doesn't it do that you want?
