 * ONCHANGE(vpin) - flag when the rotary encoder position has changed from the previous position
 * IFRE(vpin, position) - test to see if specified rotary encoder position has been received
 *
-* Further to this, feedback can be sent to the rotary encoder by using 2 Vpins, and sending a SET()/RESET() to the second Vpin.
+* Feedback can also be sent to the rotary encoder by using 2 Vpins, and sending a SET()/RESET() to the second Vpin.
 * A SET(vpin) will flag that a turntable (or anything else) is in motion, and a RESET(vpin) that the motion has finished.
 *
+* In addition, defining a third Vpin will allow a position number to be sent so that when an EXRAIL automation or some other
+* activity has moved a turntable, the position can be reflected in the rotary encoder software. This can be accomplished
+* using the EXRAIL SERVO(vpin, position, profile) command, where:
+* - vpin = the third defined Vpin (any other is ignored)
+* - position = the defined position in the DCC-EX Rotary Encoder software, 0 (Home) to 255
+* - profile = Must be defined as per the SERVO() command, but is ignored as it has no relevance
+*
+* Defining in myAutomation.h requires the device driver to be included in addition to the HAL() statement. Examples:
+*
+* #include "IO_RotaryEncoder.h"
+* HAL(RotaryEncoder, 700, 1, 0x70)    // Define single Vpin, no feedback or position sent to rotary encoder software
+* HAL(RotaryEncoder, 700, 2, 0x70)    // Define two Vpins, feedback only sent to rotary encoder software
+* HAL(RotaryEncoder, 700, 3, 0x70)    // Define three Vpins, can send feedback and position update to rotary encoder software

+//
+// Short ciruit handling strategy:
+//
+// There are the following power states: ON ALERT OVERLOAD OFF
+// OFF state is only changed to/from manually. Power is on
+// during ON and ALERT. Power is off during OVERLOAD and OFF.
+// The overload mechanism changes between the other states like
+//
+// ON -1-> ALERT -2-> OVERLOAD -3-> ALERT -4-> ON
+// or
+// ON -1-> ALERT -4-> ON
+//
+// Times are in class MotorDriver (MotorDriver.h).
+//
+// 1. ON to ALERT:
+// Transition on fault pin condition or current overload
+//
+// 2. ALERT to OVERLOAD:
+// Transition happens if different timeouts have elapsed.
+// If only the fault pin is active, timeout is
+// POWER_SAMPLE_IGNORE_FAULT_LOW (100ms)
+// If only overcurrent is detected, timeout is
+// POWER_SAMPLE_IGNORE_CURRENT (100ms)
+// If fault pin and overcurrent are active, timeout is
+// POWER_SAMPLE_IGNORE_FAULT_HIGH (5ms)
+// Transition to OVERLOAD turns off power to the affected
+// output (unless fault pins are shared)
+// If the transition conditions are not fullfilled,
+// transition according to 4 is tested.
+//
+// 3. OVERLOAD to ALERT
+// Transiton happens when timeout has elapsed, timeout
+// is named power_sample_overload_wait. It is started
+// at POWER_SAMPLE_OVERLOAD_WAIT (40ms) at first entry
+// to OVERLOAD and then increased by a factor of 2
+// at further entries to the OVERLOAD condition. This
+// happens until POWER_SAMPLE_RETRY_MAX (10sec) is reached.
+// power_sample_overload_wait is reset by a poweroff or
+// a POWER_SAMPLE_ALL_GOOD (5sec) period during ON.
+// After timeout power is turned on again and state
+// goes back to ALERT.
+//
+// 4. ALERT to ON
+// Transition happens by watching the current and fault pin
+// samples during POWER_SAMPLE_ALERT_GOOD (20ms) time. If
+// values have been good during that time, transition is
+// made back to ON. Note that even if state is back to ON,
+// the power_sample_overload_wait time is first reset
+// later (see above).
+//
+// The time keeping is handled by timestamps lastPowerChange[]
+// which are set by each power change and by lastBadSample which
+// keeps track if conditions during ALERT have been good enough
+// to go back to ON. The time differences are calculated by
+// microsSinceLastPowerChange().

-// so we define this only for new installations. If you don't want this,
-// don't add it to your config.h.

-// DCC packet with D=1 (close turnout) and <a addr subaddr 1> generates D=0 
-// (throw turnout).
