I need to build a tachometer with an a lcd display or a 7 segment led display . If anyone knows i need a circuit diagram and components list to build it .PLEASE HELP!!!! :cry: :roll:
 
what is the max rpm that you want to monitor? also, what what are you using for a signal reference?
 
Lcds are easer to interface to, but, 7 Seg LEDs are larger and brighter.

For 7 Seg LEDs I use a MC4511, the chip recieves a bcd code, it latches it into memory, and displays. So there is no need to send it over and over to the display.

I have a counter that uses them, and they work great.

What controler are you going to use?
Interfaces?
 
First figure out how to run a display. This has been explained here and on the web numerous time.

The figure out how to use the PIC to count pulses or the time between them. This is also a common thing to do.

When you can do that the rest is easy.
