+"""
+This implementation offloads the quadrature sensor continuous pooling to the StateMachine pio_quadrature,
+pio_quadrature will detect state changes and push the values then raises an interrupt that is handled by
+encoder_state_changed_irq_handler
+
+encoder_state_changed_irq_handler was inspired from 
+https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/360637/quadrature-encoder-most-efficient-software-implementation
