Classification: CPC G  H | IPC G  H

Claim 14:
15. A method comprising:
detecting, by a capacitive sensor, a capacitance value associated with a conductor;
determining, by a counter, a count value associated with the capacitance value;
determining, by a controller, a characteristic based on the count value, wherein the count value is a first count value;
decoding, by the controller, the count value to determine an angular position;
decoding, by the controller, the first count value to determine a first angular position;
decoding, by the controller, a second count value to determine a second angular position;
comparing, by the controller, the first angular position with the second angular position; and
in response to the second angular position not validating the first angular position: obtaining, by the controller, a third angular position and a fourth angular position; comparing, by the controller, the third angular position with the fourth angular position; and in response to the fourth angular position validating the third angular position, outputting, by the controller, the third angular position.
