Counter with display and reset button

[[email protected]]

I have been looking for info on how to make a counter.

I need a counter that can count items passing through a hole and
display the total number on a display(up to 3 digits). My idea was to
use infrared transmitter and reciever on the other side, and then
somehow hook it up with a display.

If i understood right, the infrared should not be disturbed by lights
or lamps in the surroundings..

Is it possible to buy this kind of equipment complete, or nearly
complete? (Im thinking cheap, not some PLC equipment). I would really
apreciate it if you guys could point me in the right direction(or to
som website).

Thanks,
Sven

Some years ago, I did some work on a pill counting machine.. for you,
an industrial panel-mount counter will do the counter part, so you
only have to worry about the pickup.

Bloody hell, from Engerland manager to proving how many times your thing has
passed through her hole...... in Ikea surroundings no less.

I'm not surprised you want it cheap.

I might be able to get you Eltons phone number, no promises though.
