Hi
I need to count the number of turns of a shaft for a home_make coil winder I am thinking to build.
I picture a small magnet mounter on the turning shaft, such magnet is triggering a reed switch which is connected to the two terminals of an "=" button "inside connection" of a calculator.
the operator hits 1+1 and then let the shaft run and the calculator should display the number of turns.
I just opened up a cheap calculator I had but the terminals are printed circuit board. I don't have enough materials on the terminals to solder the reed switch it them.
any suggestions are welcome
thanks
Sam
