Measuring motor speed - Chief Delphi

Like fishing, some may get away as you are reeling them in, but never letting out enough line to get the big ones at the bottom is just disappointing. - Eric O [more]

Re: Measuring motor speed

We tried using this optical sensor yesterday with a half-black, half-white wheel, and found that it didn't seem to refresh fast enough at frisbee-shooting speeds. (This is what was reported to me -- I wasn't there).

Does this seem like a legitimate problem for this sensor? And how would I go about determining whether or not any given sensor is suitable for these kinds of rates?

Thanks!
