Three methods I can think of at the moment
1. Count pulses over a set amount of time. This takes up time that I can be doing other commands.
2. Measuring the high or low pulse. Seems like a good deal.
3. Frequency to voltage converter. I just found this online today. I found National Instruments LM2917. Needless to say I am not familiar with this device yet I understand that I can read the voltage out and know quickly RPM.
I am working on making a piece for a race car where the RPM will be 0-10000 with 8 counts per rev. Will I be able to adjust the LM2917 to output 0-5v to represent the 0-10000?
