i have decided to build a digital anemometer/wind speed detector using PIC.
my system will work like this.when the wind blows, it will rotate the shaft and the slot disc mounted below it.i am using IR emitter and detector. when the slot disc rotates, it will cut the IR light beam and produces pulse. this pulse will then send to 74161 counter.
the problem arises at this stage. how do i interface the counter to the PIC and LCD display.
i am wondering what is the way to interconnect the PIC16F84A, counter and LCD display.......or and enhancement suggestion to my system?
anyone can help me?
