Re: Counting number of turns

If you have been around since Logomotion the line tracking sensors will work to give you a simple rotation feedback for a 'slow moving' shaft.

You could also try using the encoders inside an the older style 'ball' mouse. But this will take a little bit of electronic work on your part to interface it to the digital sidecar.
