I've got a question about the implementation of the pulse counter.
I wanted to use it to read in an analog energy meter with ferraris disc.
My sensor is working fine and the total count value seems to be correct.
The part which seems off is the time. The disc takes at least 10 sec or more to turn arround once. But sometimes I get readings with 400 ms, which is just not possible.
I've set the delay to 60 and also tried 600 seconds. Is the time set to 0 when the data is pushed to the controller? Debounce should be fine too, I also have led's on the sensor to show the state, and that part seems reliable.
My understanding was, that time displays the time in ms between the last count? Is that right? Or is it between the last two counts? There has to be some error, and the reading is sent when it doesn't display a full circle.
