Pulse Counter (pin pulse/edge counting)
---------------------------------------
The ESP32 provides up to 8 pulse counter peripherals depending on the hardware,
with id 0..7. These can be configured to count rising and/or falling edges on
any input pin.
Use the :ref:`esp32.PCNT <esp32.PCNT>` class::
from machine import Pin
from esp32 import PCNT
counter = PCNT(0, pin=Pin(2), rising=PCNT.INCREMENT) # create counter
counter.start() # start counter
count = counter.value() # read count, -32768..32767
counter.value(0) # reset counter
count = counter.value(0) # read and reset
The PCNT hardware supports monitoring multiple pins in a single unit to
implement quadrature decoding or up/down signal counters.
