Just going through some of the unfinished projects and came across a handheld IR TACHO that I built many years ago. I have very simple code to run this unit but I feel it can be made much more accurate and reliable. Here is the code currently:
' IR TACHOMETER PROGRAM FOR MICROMITE
' IR LED POWERED ON
' IR RECEIVER CONNECTED TO PIN 16
' INITIALISE PINS FOR 2 LINE LCD
LCD INIT 2,3,4,5,23,24
SetPin 16,FIN 'IR RECEIVER
Dim Spin,I
LCD 1,3,"IR TACHOMETER"
LCD 2,10," RPM"
Do
Spin=0
For I = 1 To 10
Spin = Spin + Pin(16)
Next I
Print Spin/10;" Hz"
LCD 2,1,Str$(Spin*6)
Pause 500
LCD 2,1," "
Loop
Has anyone any suggestions to improve this program?

Notice. New forum software under development. It's going to miss a few functions and look a bit ugly for a while, but I'm working on it full time now as the old forum was too unstable. Couple days, all good. If you notice any issues, please contact me.
