First off I'm not an engineer nor do I have a electronics background.
I have an old Linear (HP 6284A Power Supply). I would like to be able to display Hz/CPS.
I need to measure the speed of a tattoo machine. (basically two coils that make and break connection through out its use.
From what I gather I need circuitry to measure the waveform of the output current, an analog-to-digital converter to get that waveform data into a microcontroller, a microcontroller to analyze the waveform, software to extract the three time intervals.
Or is there is there a simpler way?
Help?!
What do I need to buy to make this work :)
