Instead of passing a slot between the light source and sensor, blocking and passing light with an edge that passes through the gap side to side, we can interrupt the...

Absolute position

The analog reading of our position in a single slot is an "absolute" position, not relative (like a standard quadrature encoder). Just being able to find position inside each slot...
