• Having seen the modifications, this is a possible solution:

    • drill a whole through the guiding tube in the plunger
    • place a IR gap sensor (or split proximity sensor) into the plunger 'watching the whole'
    • drill (18) holes thorough the guiding rod/tube fixed in the clip with distance of round diameter and first whole half round diameter below then the position of the plunger's hole with empty clip
    • count the on/offs the IR gap sensor makes - low when plunger and a guid whole align
    • use setWatch's debounce to manage jitter

    The drawback of this solution are the moving wires... 3 of them... so I'm thinking...
