I'd attach a magnet and reed switch or a variable reluctance sensor to the wheels. If your car has antilock brakes, you might be able to mount a second variable reluctance sensor to pick up movement of the toothed ring. Don't try to piggyback off the original ABS system, as you're playing with safety related components there. If you don't have ABS, you might be able to grab the toothed rings and/or sensors at the local bone yard. It'd be a fun electronics project. -- Bill Mayhew NEOUCOM Computer Services Department Rootstown, OH 44272-9995 USA phone: 216-325-2511 wtm@uhura.neoucom.edu (140.220.1.1) 146.580: N8WED
