- I'm hoping someone can help me with this...
-
- I am working ona project to collect auto speed data and to do this
- I need an optical speed sensor that will work in serial with the speedo
- cable. I know that some cars use speed sensors to control the cruise
- and I was hoping someone could point me in the direction of one
- tha uses optoelectronics and is _very_ sturdy and reliable.
-
- Essentially what I need is a sensor that will give me the RPMs of the
- speedo cable (this is the easiest way for me to collect data since it
- will be used on different types of vehicles.).
- t
- Thanks.
