If you remember Ted, you sent me details of how to use a frequency counter module and a slotted disc and opto-coupler as a lathe speed indicator, to enable the frequency counter to show RPM rather than KHz. I designed a couple of PCBs and built them but never fitted the 60-slot disc and opto coupler to my woodturning lathe as I fitted a handwheel outboard of the headstock and there wasn't any way I could fit the disc. Neat idea though!
Back on the track of this thread, I'm in Normandy for a few days (D-Day and all that stuff), and I'm looking forward to unpacking the sewing machine motors, which should have arrived by the time I get back, to see if I can pair at least one motor with one foot controller.
Hope to see you and 'Mrs Ted' at Hornsea!
