Hello folks !
I would like to ask you for some help with my first Arduino project because I'm a noob.
I will place a magnetic sensor on a frame and a magnet on a wheel.
I need to make a counter with that, which will display the number of turn the wheel does.
To put you in context; it's for some old ladies, they need to roll their wool things and have the same lenght of wool wire or whatever you call it, for their looms.
What I have so far:
Arduino UNO
What I think I need:
A LED display
A display sheild ?
Some CODE hehe
I really hope I could get some help on this forum and thank you well in advance
To sum: Magnetic sensor send a pulse, and those pulse increments on a display, with a reset button

How many turns? If that's not greater than 99 then you could use a 2 digit, 7-segment LED display.
I you get an LCD then you can display a very large number. http://www.dipmicro.com/store/BTE-ARD-LCDKEY-B
Well, that LCD Keypad shield plugs right into the Arduino, no loose boards, and it's more functional.
(The LED board is designed around a 328P... hmmm, I've heard of those somewhere...)
