Very new to this. Planning to use 2 beam-break lasers (IR transmitters & receivers) to determine speed of a ball. Crossing the first beam would start clock and crossing 2nd would stop. Distance is constant (6 inches). Output needs to be in MPH. Can calculation be programmed within the clock read-out or is it separate?
Is this the simplest way? I found velocity sensors (would obviate the need for an IR receiver) but they all seem to require a metallic object to trigger.
Thanks for any help!
