No, neither. I have made a few tachometers using Atmel microcontrollers. The sensor, either a hall effect or optical, just sends pulses and the microcontroller counts them up and handles the display. Another one I made had counter chips and the microcontroller basically just handled the display part. I would like emc2 to do the counting and display. It seems simple enough, I just haven't found anything in the docs that describes it. Worst case, I could just take one of my existing tachs and have the serial output sent into ttyS00 and then a standalone program would handle the display, but can't emc2 handle it ?
