Hello to all and thanks for help in advance.
I am trying to set up sensors to detect blade RPM of a mower using 2 sensors and a VHSC24 card. I have been able to get this to work using "encoder" mode with one sensor counting and the other in B channel making count up or down so I can detect direction with some math but it is just a count. I am wondering how i could make this a live count value so that I can see as the RPMs fluctuate. It appears from the manual that my only option would be PWM? I have not had any luck getting any values in that mode.
Apologies if this is not clear.
