Is there any serious advantage of using the optocoupler over the zener diode? I'd imagine it would be much safer for both the car and the arduino, but that said it doesn't seem the zener diode way has failed people yet.
I'm just wondering if its bleeding off the vss to ground at 5.1v will this cause odo reading errors?
