HOW TO – Rotary dialer PIC interface

Randofo writes –

I have found myself with an abundance of rotary phones. In fact, they’re everywhere I look. In hopes that I may someday see less of them, I’ve begun taking them apart and re-using the parts for other purposes.

For some reason I got it into my brain that interfacing the rotary control with a PIC chip would be a good idea. I can only think of a couple of vague uses for it at the moment and none are particularly useful, but I hope to do something cool with this in the future.
