Re: Rockwell sensor as a encoder/counter

We use the "getPeriod()" method in the Counter class. Something (in Java) like:

Code:

public final static double kTicksPerRevolution = 2.0;
private Counter counter;

double getRPM()
{
   return 60.0/(counter.getPeriod()*kTicksPerRevolution);
}

The factor of 60 converts between revolutions per second and RPM.
