Thank you for taking the time to reply to my post, I was hoping for an answer that wouldn’t be so costly!

Hi, I am looking at reducing the overall vibration in a wildcat helicopter for my university course. due to the cost i am obviously unable to utilise a real life wildcat so am looking to use a radio controlled helicopter to prove my concept works. I need to measure the phase of the main rotor head so i can then ensure the dc motor i will use as a “shaker” will be 180 degrees out of phase. Having read up on optical sensors and accelerometers I am unsure if it is feasible or the best components to use to due to obtain this information? Thank you in advance for your expert opinion and input,

Hi, I am looking at designing a piece of equipment that will reduce the vibration in a small scale RC Helicopter. For this I am looking to measure the phase of the helicopter and the dc motor I will be using as the shaker. To then ensure the motor is 180 degrees out of phase with the helicopter. The question I have is how will I design a circuit to utilise an optical sensor to collect phase information of the helicopter and then the dc motor? Thank you in advance for your input
