I want to use the TS-7200 for counting pulses from 1 or more hall-effect switches to determine wheel speed. I also want to read a keypad, display results on an LCD and so on. I remember trying this with either a 2800 (slow) or a 5300 from Technologic using DOS/uCos and it seemed to bog down. I'm wondering if the 7200 running Linux will be fast enough without having to come up with auxilary hardware like a PIC which reads the pulses and calculates the wheel speed and sends the info to the 7200 in an sync serial format (a lot of work and more to go wrong). Also, would Linux be the choice for a realtime app like this? This is meant for a car and will probably only read 2 hall-eff switches to determine MPH and pulses from the coil to determine RPM. The reason I'm reading 2 hall-eff switches is to detect for wheel spin.
