Thanks for the support KFM. You’re right, the same resistance, being a constant, applied to all theoretical speeds will yield a good grasp of what different motors and gear rations will change with respect to eachother, just not accurate speeds.

b_drift, I HAD THE SAME IDEA! We must both be crazy! I would prefer to use the lap counter with a second sensor but I’ve never seen a lap counter and don’t know what it uses for a sensor so I don’t know if I’d be able find another sensor without having to but another counter. Do you know what kind of sensor it uses? I was thinking it probably uses an infared sensor since you say it has areflector. I also thought I probably wouldn’t need a switch. If you just wired in another sensor (in parallel if normally opened sensor or series if normally closed sensor). Again, the trick being finding another sensor. This is just my guess based on never seeing a counter’s circuitry.

I think this would be the most accurate way. Maybe I’ll order a counter and see what I can come up with.
