The Tachometer needed to be small, portable, and should be extensible, so many designs were made and finally the one agreed upon was first tested on a cardboard cutout.
On top is the ISP connector for programming, on the left are the extra pins left, the sensors input were put with a 3.5mm audio jack female connector and the 2 ICs, the Opamp and the ATMEGA8 were concealed beneath the LCD.
I designed the PCB with big traces and some jumpers as I was just learning to make PCBs back then.. :) the final outcome:
without the LCD
The bottom Copper side
