Re: Measuring RPM for a Free-Spinning CIM
Our team used the light sensors from 2011 and programmed a tachometer to output to the DS. By putting a piece of electrical tape on a wheel, we were able to use this as a "tick" mark in programming. Review team 358's example under Tachometer for sample code. If you are interested in this, message me and I'll help you get it set up.
