First of all I'm from portugal so sorry if I misspell something
Hello there I'm involved In a school project, and I searched the web to see if someone could help me develop a program that is basicaly a rpm counter that inputs the results into a lcd screen like this

In my school we use Picaxe 28x2 and picaxe editor 6 as our programming software.
I already took out a sensor of a printer and figured out that it is light sensitive. So I attached white paper to a wheel with a black stripe, so when the black stripe hits the sensor it should count a rotation.
Can someone from this concept help me create a program? It would be awesome.
Thanks in advance
P.S. I know you might need the exact tension values but just work with a generic number, for example 5 volts normally, down to 1v when the black stripe crosses the sensor.
