Hello
I recently built the sensor defined here
http://www.umbra.demon.co.uk/sensor1.html
I used an emitter detector pair out of a mouse and built the circuit as
defined, with the exception of using a 22uF capacitor instead of a 25uF
capacitor. Will this reduce the effectiveness of this circuit? I currently am
getting a range of about 4 to 52. also what is the max rpm this sensor can
accurately count?
