Getting Wheel RPM
 

Now that build season is complete it is time for some fine tuning of things. What I would like to do is use some sort of encoder (any suggestions would be much appreciated) and use it to consistently run our shooting wheels at a set rpm. I am fairly certain a DigitalInput object would be used to do this, however, I have no experience with either the sensor or the programming. Any suggestions or sample code would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance for the help.
