1. A method, comprising:
- detecting a plurality of discrete signals, each of the discrete signals being received from a respective one of a plurality of inputs;
identifying a detected bit pattern based on the discrete signals;
detecting selectively an error condition according to the bit pattern; and
determining an expected position of a physical member according to the error condition and the bit pattern.

Abstract
A set of inputs each selectively provides a discrete signal, whereby the sensor inputs together provide a plurality of discrete signals. A memory includes instructions executable by a processor for receiving the discrete signals, identifying a bit pattern from the discrete signals, and determining a position of a physical member according to the bit pattern and an error condition detected from the discrete signals.
