Hello,
I am currently using a mechanical counter which counts every time the circuit is made (See attached Type AW 15.01). The circuit is made as a mechanical arm slides a butterfly metal contact on a matching metal strip.
One end of the counter is essentially connected to GND and the other to the metal strip. The butterfly contact is +24VDC and completes the circuit to GND through the counter. I have connected a diode to protect the counter because its a coil. In an attempt to debounce the circuit i have put a 1uF capacitor across the counter.
Is there anyway to debounce this circuit using discrete components?
Thanks,
Ash
