[ScorpiusWireless]

Hi Kev,

There’s 2 photo sensors in the unit. They are designed to detect reflective light. Hence we need a white or reflective surface.
I just use a little white nail polish.
Then hot glue the tacho on the motor directly over the reflective point. Then you just need to plug it into one of the data ports. The default firmware for Data Port 2 is the tacho. So you won’t even need to configure anything.

You’ll need a Scorpius dongle and free software to see your revs on your PC. We will also add it to the OLED screen which be handy, and of course very cool ….   

Add some paint.

   

Now add the sensor.

   

And below the reflective photo sensor. 

   

Plug it in. That’s it.

Here’s the pulse:

So instead of using the planned hall sensor we just swapped to a light sensor. Job done.
