Rpm counting, adjusting and sending analog again

Hello

I have to make a signal (0-5V) that is dependant of rpm

I've got a board of education (full) with a BS2 microcontroller.

My first question, for a input, do I have to count with the mA that the input gets or the Voltage?

So I started with a hall sensor, because the electronic shop can't order a MLX90217, I've got a SS466A from honeywell. The·problem is that it is a latching hall·sensor,·a unipolar will be easier to count impulses and measure rpm?·Then I just got to have 1 magnet...

Then i would like to make a table were I can write the voltage that I want with the specific rpm... but that's maybe for later

At last, I need a DA converter, so I thougt of DAC081C081 http://www.national.com/pf/DA/DAC081C081.html because it can be fed with 5V.

Am I on the right track or complete wrong?


Sander

    I think you are way off track. if you were to send a 5v pulse to a cap every time the shaft turned the faster the shaft turned the higher the voltage in the cap.
