Then I would say that my encoder ticks halfway up the mountain... anywhere above half way, and I am at the top (best estimate given 2 choices); anywhere below, and I'm at the ground.
Your algorithm would say ground when starting, then after crossing half way, you are at the top... then you come back down all the way to the ground, and you still report that you are at the TOP!
