I need to count each time an action happens. For each action, there are two ways I can think to count it. First, a plastic cylinder spins around. I could increment the counter when the the top of the cylinder is pointed at the bottom, 180 degrees spun around. The second option would be to have some kind of infrared laser that increments the counter if the laser is broken.
I have no idea how to do either. I need it so they are all logged into some kind of device (probably a computer) so that I can monitor all counters. Any ideas on how to get this working?
