Hi Ted. I found with the reed relay a lot of "debounce" is required..even slugging it with a 1 uf cap........ I could go up to 10 uf...but again it clocks up a + digit.. which ever rotation is made... thus if you need to reverse wind to tidy up... it adds ....... rather than subtracts... therefore a method of rotation direction detection is needed... thus a rotating opto disk etc... IF I decide to carry on with it.. I will report back... but more important things are in the "offing"..
