Hey guys and girls,
i have a general question regarding a project. I have a rotary encoder on a crankshaft to measure engine speed with 3600 increments per revolution. At 750 rpm that comes down to a pulsed signal at 45 kHz. For the device "further down the line" this fequency is too high, so I want to process the encoders signal in a way that only every third (or fourth) pulse is taken and put through. I plan to work on this with an Arduino Uno but I am unsure about the feasibility. I can handle the code but my electronics knowledge is not the best so wonder if I'm overlooking something hardware-wise.
is the Arduino Uno a working choice for this solution? Is this solution reasonable in general?
Thanks in advance
