Re: How can we wire the Gear Tooth sensor?
The counter operates much faster than the control software (it has dedicated FPGA hardware to handle it). Thus, it never misses counts.
On a related note, an analog potentiometer seems like a better choice. You attach it to a shaft, and it measures the absolute angle of the shaft, which you read from an analog channel.
