counting
Many industrial product counters use simple photoelectric emitters
and detectors to count the number of times the beam is broken between
the emitter/detector.
You could even take the time the beam is broken and the speed of the
conveyer system to indicate the length of each product passing through
the detector.
The BS2 count command makes this a very simple task.

capacitive proximity sensor. Gives an open/closed contact depending on the
presence of the artichoke or lack thereof.

Check out the IRODS "Infra Red Object Detection System" available at
Parallax, Inc (and others). All the spec sheets and details are on
their website (www.parallaxinc.com). Sells for about $34.
IRODS has an adjustable pot that you set for the desired detection
range (4"-31"). Here's a sample program to run it:
START: high pin0 ' Make sure it sees a high to low...
pause 3 ' ... transition
low pin0 ' Begin measurement
pause 56 ' Wait for measurement to be completed
if in1=0 then OBJECT ' We have seen an Artichoke (on PIN1)
goto start ' No object so we loop
OBJECT: debug "Artichoke counted",cr
artichoke=artichoke+1
pause 250 ' Pause a 1/4 second (just cause I wanna)
goto START
That easy! :-)
It works REALLY REALLY well.

using 1 BS2.
How long could be the sensor's cable so that the device will be insensitive
to voltage drop?
