Hello,
I need your suggestions on choosing appropriate sensor for my project.
I have some rolling tyres and I need to measure time (and speed) of them while rolling, by sensors. It could be easily done by putting a laser sensor on one side and a LDR on the other side and read and measure the time in which received signal is being cut by rolling tyre. But, it has to be on one side only, so on the other side I don't want to put LDR.
Considering application requirement as below, what are your recommendations?
Is it possible to use reflectors on the other side?
Do I have to use rangefinder sensors?
Covering distance: 20cm-3m
resolution (at beam spot): 0.1mm
short time-of-flight
Have a look at attachment also.
Thanks in advance
