This also assumes the signal from the HAL sensor is symmetric, which is should be isn't it?
The one downside is that it means you are constantly needing to read the ADC value.
As I see it, it's just a simple program that needs to be written. The logic for calculating the wait times can be done on a PC. Are you considering storing the timings in the EEPROM memory? That way you could simply upload a new set of timings, without having to rewrite the program memory. Or even go as far as having a serial interface that allows replacing timings on the fly while running.

Yeah, the signal is a symmetric pulse. Reading must be taken constantly. An interrupt can be setup. Timing will be saved in EEPROM. Serial interace will be there. On the PC, there will be a simple
VB program. Also, a 2 switch (increment/decrement) interface to change timing on the fly. A 2 line LCD to display current timing/TPS value/rpm.
Atleast, that is how I envision it!
