Re: Hall Effect Sensor.

Jdong,
I imagine you are quite right about the complexity, and you bring up a good point about assumptions. I was merely throwing it out as a piece of information that could be used so people could mess with it. I have absolutely no idea about how programming is done, and am rather hopeless (even after 2 C classes!) but what if you were to make the hall-effect sensor read a gear with a large gap between the teeth? that would make the duty cycle difference easier to read. I have other ideas, but most of mine are not that great.

Thanks again!

Sparks

I love to take things apart. The fact that they work better when I put them back together it just a bonus.
