What model encoder are you using, how do you have it mounted, and what is it detecting?


It is detecting the passing of a magnet of our shooter. In slow mode (when it is needed) JVN calc estimates 28 in/s, probably actually less that 20. I videod the sensor in slow motion on my iPhone and you can see the sensor light going out.
