Re: RPM Sensing Options

Wouldn't it be possible to just use the gear tooth counter along with the timer? So you know how many gear teeth pass for however many seconds...and then you have the speed that the wheel is turning in gears/min...all you have to do is count how many gears there are and use that as a reference to figure out RPM.
