Re: Best way to measure period between pulses? Counters and FPGA

So for our shooter last year we used a counter with a light sensor. How we got the correct value is we took the period, then took the reciprocal. We then divided that number by how many pulses you get per rotation, and then multiply that by 60. That gives the RPM.
