Digital distance measuring wheel
Digital distance measuring wheel
(OP)
I am trying to make a distance measuring device using a wheel (just like a digital odometer in a car). Can I find a chip with sensors(I am sure sensors will be attached to a wheel) that outputs distance in a digital format so that it can be stored in a memory? DigiRoller II Plus is a similar device but all I need is a circuit with output pins that outputs distance measured by a wheel (no LCDs or similar components attached attached). Does anyone know such circuit or chip?

I dont know that anyone IC will do what you want unless you use a microcontroller. This, to me, would be how I would make such an animal.

You can search for "Group Arnold" company on the net to find out more about magnetic sensors used for measuring revoloution.

If you could use a large wheel (16") then you can use a off the shelf bike odometer. You just strap the magnet on the wheel and the electronics are already made for you. for smaller wheels you can use a divide by circuit, up/down counter, flip flop or such.
