HI All
I need a little assistance on building a tach circut using the LM2907 IC
I built 3 circuits one with the LM2907 chip one using the 555 timer circuit the other with just one transistor. All 3 worked out pretty good.The problem that I am having is the meter scale. the analog meter that I am using at full scale needs 50 MA. The input frequency that I am measuring is from 1500 th 2000 HZ 1500 HZ needing to be 0 on the scale and 2000 HZ needs to be 100% on the scale.lets say if I decrease my input frequency by 100 HZ I can move the needle from 100% to 90% But it really needs to move to !00% to 80% I need to move the needle more when I change the frequency. It also would be good it it the amount of needle movement on a frequency change was adjustable for calibration. Changing the gauge re scaling the gauge face is not an option the gauge offers the resolution that I need. any Ideas?
Any input I can get on the problem would be very helpfull.
Thank you Doug S
