#142432 - Isn't the wheel already marked?

The only thing I would try to do is to paint half of the wheel mat black, and build some sort of optical reflection sensor.

We haven't had a mechanical meter for ages, so I can't go and check, but I'm sure they always used to have a little black mark on the edge of the wheel to that you could see it turning & count the revs yourself.

Shouldn't be hard to detect this optically?

"retro-reflective" is your search term...
