Optical pick up isn't a good choice. It must be assumed that this pick up will collect dust as well. I might be going bad with the time. A better choice would be to use an magnetic pick up like those being used for electrical BLDC motors. They are failure proofed even in harsh environments. Anyhow, the optical pick up is a nice idea with room for improvements. |
