1) What optical sensor are you using?

3) What wheel speeds were you measuring?

4) Were you indeed "having the sensor count rotations" or were you using the FPGA to measure the period? (That's an important distinction).

5) What speed control algorithm did you use?


I can definitely get an answer by tomorrow. I wasn't the one who worked with the optical sensor.
