PICers, I have a possible(?) project coming up that involves vehicle detection/counting. Pessure mats, wire loops etc not an option. The gizmo needs to be small, & portable - the requirement is to count cars as they enter/leave a large outdoors *BIG* temporary car park. The cars will come down a narrow track marked out with poles/flags, so the sensor can be positioned pretty close as they pass buy. digging up the grass for cables etc - No No. I was thinking maybe of Honeywell's detectors. To wit, one of these ---> http://www.ssec.honeywell.com/magnetic/mark_det.html Has anyone used them? Are they OK? Are there better/cheaper devices around? Thanks for advice - Debbie ____________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
