Hey there, I'm pretty new to working with hardware and I have found myself working on a project for measuring gaps between two sections of tape, with the distance being measured in fractions of millimetres. I have chosen a CMOS linear sensor (Hamamatsu S11108) to do my gap measurement and I have managed to generate a clock signal using the TCB1 register but after that point I have been stumped as what to do next. As I said I don't have a background in hardware so understanding timing diagrams is a little bit beyond me and I really don't know the capabilities of the Nano Every and whether it could handle the task. Does anyone think they could help me understand this sensor a little better in respect to getting it to work with the Nano Every (if this is even possible).

that's my own post on another forum, but thank you for your reply
Same problem, with the same circuit, posted under another user name on this forum:
As advised in other forums, a web cam, ESP32-CAM or similar would be a much better choice.
Please do not cross post.
2 points: 1. that user is my Dad who is helping me with this project. 2. I have tried with a camera and it couldn't achieve the resolution we needed as the gap is measured in fractions of millimeters.
It is against the forum rules to have parallel threads on the same topic, as that wastes everone's time. Please confine yourselves to one user name and one thread per topic. Flagged for moderation.
Please continue this discussion here:
@psyar15,
I have locked this topic and requested the discussion continue on your dad's topic. It is a waste of helpers' time to be assisting on the same project in different topics. I chose your dad's topic because it has had a lot more help in it.
There is no issue with you and your dad both having an account here, but please stick to one of you asking a question, not duplicate questions under different user names.
Thank you.
