Hello frds and experts!
I am a newbie to MIcros and a new comer in this forum too. and I am quite impressed with the number of responses even to some what *silly* (sorry to say that... but my intention is to sincerely appreciate the guys who are responding) postings.
And I am here to post one more stupid/silly thing...
My task is to measure the speed of an elevator using an optical sensor that gives out signals according to the speed of the elevator by reflecting light from an optical band placed on the guide rails of the elevator cab. The optical band is of alternative dark and white strips of say, 4mm width.
I was suggested to use a PIC Micro to do this task...
The rough idea in my mind at present is...
1) calculate the frequency of the signal emitted by Sensor(by counting the number of pulses in a time span),
2)calculate the velocity from the counted frequency (software module)
And I dont wanna go into the details of this project for now.
I request you to correct me if I am wrong and I await your valuable suggestions and your version of game plan for this task.
Thank you in advance.
