I wasn't planning on using car breaks. I was hoping to translate the logic from the abs module for solenoids in breaks which I would be designing. You could use software and optical response parts from an old computer mouse for a "lock" sensor.
Anyway...anyone here know of an accurate way of making a tach for each wheel. A photoresistor and black electrical tape is probably not accurate enough. Maybe on the gear assembly?
Thanks
