I've been wracking my brain over this. I need to find the speed of several fractional horsepower DC motors using just the signal seen from the motor running off a simple DC power source (AKA battery). There appears to be a 'noise' signal that can be used but suggestions how to use it would be welcome here. I currently don't have any handy magnets and optical devices for this kind of measurement and thought "gee why not see what I could use the scope I had for". Stephen R. Phillips was here Please be advised what was said may be absolutely wrong, and hereby this disclaimer follows. I reserve the right to be wrong and admit it in front of the entire world. __________________________________ Celebrate Yahoo!'s 10th Birthday! Yahoo!
