Well managed to get a pulse disc attached to the end of the motor shaft today. Will have pulses a plenty. Starter question would be:

1) What would I need minimum to just count the pulses and display them assuming I am using a sensor from a mouse?
2) I can mount up to a 2 1/2" disc with a fare amount of divisions on it Was thinking 20 to start.

Sorry to ask so many questions.
