There are quite a few examples of adding Spindle Tacho displays to Axis
but I can't find much about how one detects the spindle speed in a
useful manner without some fancy encoder.

My mill spindle already has a 'slotted' disk for the inbuilt tacho so I
was thinking of sticking a simple slotted phototransistor thingie on the
same disk......  but what do I do then?

All the spindle speed stuff I've found talks about encoders and the only
likely candidate in pnc/stepconf is the Digital Input 0-4 but my
Google-fu is weak and I can't join the dots.

Any pointers?
