Re: Gear Tooth Sensor
Interesting, I'll have to have the programmer's look at the Kevin's new code release.

We had worked out two solutions... one was to use a custom filter circuit to filter out the shorter pulse, then use two sensors, one forward and one backward on each gear. The other was to program a PIC 16f627 or similar other "little" PIC to serve as a dedicated gear tooth sensor monitor.

Of course, we haven't got around to implementing these, and with the deadline coming, Kevin's help is once again most appreciated.
