Guys,
I am in the process of deploying a diesel generator - based on the venerable Lister engines.
The engine will operate in the 850rpm range.
I would like to be able to monitor the speed of rotation of the flywheel with a picaxe.
I do not believe mounting anything (mechanical) onto the motor will survive for long as these motors develop a fair bit of vibration.
I was going to use a Kiwi patch board to develop the board on and am happy to use an X2 (or maybe even the new M2 !!) when it is available.
I will be using a regulated wall wart power supply.
I am in Australia.
regards
Craig
