Why this mount?
I initially tried detecting the gas meter's rotation using a reed switch and a hall sensor, but neither provided reliable results due to inconsistent magnetic field detection.
This mount positions the TCRT 5000 optimally, allowing it to accurately scan the metal plate movement.
Printing recommendations
The case must be printed with supports to ensure proper structural integrity.
Designed for easy installation on the gas meter.
