content: I would have thought you could get them much cheaper than that - I know there are RPM counters (tachometers) that are less expensive, but which probably don't have a trigger-on-count functionality.Why not a basic TTL circuit or a micro? A dollar or two in parts and you should be able to fully configure it, a 12 bit counter, a comparator on the input set to your signal level, and some and/not gates to select where to stop if you want it hardwired. Also any old micro can do this in half a dozen lines of code, you just need a relay driver and whatever signal conditioning to get your input signal readable by a micro.

content: I knew it was going to be a bad idea to click on a subject that just says "Solved".The whole thread should be deleted to prevent the time wasted playing "This is the answer, what was the question."

content: Quote from: TheHolyHorse on October 19, 2019, 12:28:32 pmThe original title "Ebay counters. Do You recommend one?" looked almost interesting, I should have clicked on it yesterday when it might have made sense. I still think the whole thread should be deleted, not just locked, because "testgear" has enough junk threads as it is.
