There is a diagram in the datasheet.
https://www.ttelectronics.com/TTElectronics/media/ProductFiles/Optoelectronics/Datasheets/OHB900.pdf

Pin 1 is VCC (12V)
Pin2 is Ground
Pin 3 is the output.
You can attach the 10K resistor there. It may not actually be needed if your BOB provides pull up, but it won't hurt.
There is a figure in the datasheet that shows a 820 ohm resistor. This value would be needed to operate at the device's maximum speed. That would be 100,000 rpm with two vanes. I assume you aren't going that fast.

The vane is interrupting a magnet field so it needs to be a ferrous material.

Thanks MN300.
I have 5v easy available at the mill, can this be used instead of the12v? Vil it cause problems?
The datasheet says that it operates over a broad range of supply voltages (4.5 V to 25V).

Yes, 5V should be fine.
By the way, I made a mistake in converting the maximum switching frequency of 200 KHz to motor speed. It should have been 100,000 revs per second.

Thanks OK. Mine goes to max 3500 rpm.

My first idea for an alternative was a system we used in the 1990s as an inexpensive and rugged encoder. Sold by Xolox, it consisted of a magnetic wheel with an alternating pattern of north and south poles around the circumference and a hall effect sensor. Unfortunately that company is no longer around.

Today I found equivalent wheels at Digi-Key. I believe the small hole for the shaft can be bored a bit larger if necessary.

4 pole Wheel, equivalent to two vanes

Hall sensor example,  You can probably find less expensive sensors at a hobby electronics site. There are also sensors in a transistor-like package but those will be harder to mount.

I have now received some OPB607A sensors and have wired one as the diagram using R1 = 150 ohm and R2 = 10K ohm. I supply 5v and measured the voltage between earth and "signal out" to 1,3v with no reflector. The sensor do not react to a reflector at all,- no change on the reading.
Have I used wrong resistors, or have I blown the sensor?

Most digital cameras can see infrared so it is easy to see if the emitter is working.

Recheck your wiring, pinout diagram is on sheet 1
https://www.ttelectronics.com/TTElectronics/media/ProductFiles/Optoelectronics/Datasheets/OPB606-607.pdf

pin 1  output, 10K to  +5V  BROWN BLACK ORANGE
pin 2  ground
pin 3  LED emitter, 150 ohms to +5V  BROWN GREEN BROWN
pin 4 ground

Yes you were right, my wiring was wrong. I have made a new wiring diagram witch I think is correct. Please comment. I have attached the diagram, but have not tried it jet.

Your diagram looks fine.

OK Thanks.
I tried it connected up, it is working!!!,- but I am getting the following readings: .71v and 1.26v.
What to do? Lover the 10K ohm resistor or the 150 ohm?
Well, I know, I could have tried different resistors but it is easier to ask  :) :)
