I have built a device that has a spinning rotor that I would like to display its rpm. I have been using a handheld laser device that bounces off a reflective strip on the rotor (see pic).

I’m looking for a permanent module attached to the base plate with a small display unit I can mount and with any electronics put on the PCB I’m preparing.
Magnetic options are complicated as the rotor has 5 Neo magnets in it so an optical method is preferred.
 
Any ideas?
 
Thanks

Thanks. A useful idea but wouldn’t need to house in a case. More a question of how to place all the parts on and around my circuit.
