I am looking for an appropriate sensor to create a signal pulse, from which a fairly accurate speed measurement can be obtained (via LabVIEW). I have no experience using such sensors, so any advice/suggestions welcome. I am aware of optical, proximity and magnetic sensors, but never used any. The sensor is to be used to measure the (shaft/propellor) speed
of a 12V (1100GPH) dc motor,which will be operating UNDERWATER.
Ideally the sensor needs to be small (to effect the operation of the motor as little as possibe), relatively inexpensive and easily acquired.
