Re: Speed Sensors

Well, you could probably do it simply, if you had an optical sensor, that looked down at the wheel...have some kind of mark on the wheel, make the sensor count how many times it "see's" it in a second..then plug that in to some kind of program(becasue you can figure out how far the wheel travels with each rotation) and do it like that. Im not sure how hard this would be from a programming standpoint, but I don't imagine it would be too hard.

That was one heck of a run-on sentence...whew!
